CONDUCTION ANGLE CONTROL OF A SWITCHED RELUCTANCE GENERATOR

摘要

A control system (18) is disclosed. The control system (18) has a switched reluctance generator (20) coupled to provide electrical power through a DC bus (24) to a motor (22). The control system (18) also has a controller (26) in communication with the switched reluctance generator (20), the motor (22), and the DC bus (24). The controller (26) is configured to receive an indication of an amount torque or power required by the motor (22), determine a conduction angle of the switched reluctance generator (20) based on the amount of torque or power required by the motor (22); and energize the DC bus (24) with the electrical power provided by the switched reluctance generator (20) based on the conduction angle.
