Summary:This paper discusses how the switched reluctance generator (SRG)
converts energy as directed by a controller. Beginning with a review of
the electromechanics of generation, the paper identifies the
implications of the energy conversion process on how the SRG is
controlled. The structure of the SRG controller for speed-control and
power-control applications is discussed. Practical implementation
details for commutation of the SRG are reviewed. Concepts are
illustrated with a 6-kW SRG designed to serve as a starter/alternator in
automotive applications
