Maximum Power Control and Optimization of Switched Reluctance Generators for Wind Turbines

In this paper, a maximum power control and optimization of 4-phase 8/6-pole Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG) are realized for wind energy conversion system by using MATLAB/Simulink. Unlike conventional generators, the SRGs has increased in variable speed turbines due to important advantages such as lower copper losses, simple structure, flexible control, good performance wide range. However, since work with switching logic, their torque production is fluctuating optimum turn-on/turn-off angles phases must be determined generator. Therefore, study, these optimized based on SRG Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) realized. Besides, voltage provided keeping DC bus at output constant desired value help chopper controlled unloader. The results obtained from model conditions compared that unoptimized model. It observed can more stable proper method follows power.
