ABSTRACT:
A switched reluctance generator system, including a converter for coupling a dc voltage via a dc excitation bus to a switched reluctance generator and thereby providing excitation power thereto, has a separate generator bus for providing the output voltage of the switched reluctance generator. The generator bus is separate and distinct from the dc excitation bus such that the average output current generated by the switched reluctance generator is substantially independent of the generator output voltage. The switched reluctance generator system further includes switches for coupling each respective machine phase winding of the switched reluctance generator to the generator bus such that the generator provides power to the excitation bus when the switches are turned off and provides power to the generator bus when the switches are turned on. As a result, the switched reluctance generator system is self-excited after generating action is initiated, even during load faults, and is furthermore capable of resuming normal generating operation following occurrence of a short-circuit fault.
