Abstract

The subject of this paper is the wind powered Switched Reluctance Generator - SRG and its behavior. Simulations and experimental results are presented. It was analyzed the efficiency of SRG under different conditions. Many operational test were conduced to state clearly the behavior of a prototype drove by a half-bridge (HB) converter. Variable excitation voltage and angular speed relationship is clearly established. It shows that the suitable excitation control for a wind powered SRG must adjust the operation parameters to match the desired point on certain surfaces.
