--This paper presents the Analysis of Dynamic Characteristics of switched reluctance Generator using MATLAB, a widely used simulation tool. Component models are addressed and their incorporation into the MATLAB is provided. The component models are constructed by user-define functions provided in the simulation program. This modeling work is mainly employed to analyse the characteristics of swi...

The switched reluctance motor is a simple and robust machine, which has found application over a wide power and speed ranges in different shapes and geometries. This paper introduces a new configuration for a two phase unidirectional switched reluctance motor/field assisted generator. The proposed novel motor/generator consists of two magnetically independent stator and rotor sets (layers), whe...

The linear and non-linear math models of the switched reluctance generator (SRG) in generator mode were established in this work. The phase current and energy conversion process during generator operation were simulated by the linear math model. The non-linear math model was used to analyze the characteristics of the SRG operation in self-excitation mode and in separately-excitation mode. Some ...

This paper proposes an effective method of energy regeneration during braking for a dc motor or internal combustion(IC) engine. During the braking period, instead of dissipating the kinetic energy in the brake shoes and poles in the form of heat, this energy is recovered using a switched reluctance generator that is mechanically coupled to the shaft of prime mover. Here the DC motor or the IC e...

This paper describes a consideration of the excitation circuit of a switched reluctance generator (SRG). The SRG is a doubly salient machine. It does not contain any magnets or brushes, and the phases are completely independent. The rotor is made of laminated iron and it does not have any winding. However, the conventional excitation circuit of this machine is an asymmetry half bridge converter...

This paper presents a flywheel energy storage system, which uses a switched reluctance motor/generator. It is shown how this device can be used either together with a DVR or alone in order to attenuate the effects of voltage sags and short interruptions. In order to improve the system efficiency, some design alternatives are presented. Finite elements analyses results, validated against laborat...

Green house effect has becomes a serious concern in many countries due to the increase consumption of the fossil fuel. There have been many studies to find an alternative power source. Wind energy found to be one of the most useful solutions to help in overcoming the air pollution and global. There is no agreed solution to conversion of wind energy to electrical energy. In this paper, the advan...

Living in a world where environment protection and energy conservation are the first worries, the development of hybrid vehicle seems to be an accelerated pace. There for, recent efforts are directed toward developing an improved propulsion system. One of the most valuable solutions is the starter alternators [19]. This paper presents an advanced development of a switched reluctance starter-alt...
