Abstract

This paper presents a comparative study between two Switched Reluctance Generators 6/4 and 8/6 both of 60kW. The main features of the two machines and the mathematical modeling that considers the magnetic saturation effect are established. A computational simulation was performed in Matlab/Simulink environment and has allowed the machine behavior under various operating conditions to be verified. This work made it possible to evaluate: ripple voltage, phase voltage and current, speed, torque, flux, power, losses and efficiency. The comparative results between the two generators are presented and discussed.
