Abstract:

This paper describes a consideration of the excitation circuit of a switched reluctance (SR) generator. The SR generator has some features including solid structure and easiness of maintenance. However, the conventional excitation circuit of the SR generator is an asymmetry half bridge converter (AHBC) whose configuration is complicated. In this paper, we examine the operating characteristics of the SR generator excited by a suppression resistor converter (SRC) based on finite-element method (FEM) analysis and experiments

I. Introduction

The switched reluctance (SR) generator has various desirable features which include simple and solid structure, easiness of maintenance, small moment of rotor inertia, and low cost because the SR generator has no rotor windings and no permanent magnet. The solid structure is useful for an ultrahigh speed generator such as a microgas turbine generator [1] [2] [3]. The simple structure and small moment of inertia suit a low speed multipolar generator for use in wind turbine generators.
