Switched reluctance variable speed linear generator system

The paper presents the developed Switched Reluctance linear generator system in hardware and in software. The structure and photograph of the developed three-phase 6/4 structure Switched Reluctance linear generator are given. The main circuit topology and photograph of power converter are also given. The photographs of power converter drive circuit, protection circuit, keyboard and LCD display circuit, controller hardware circuit are presented. The designed software for 80C196KB and STC12C5A60S2, double MCUs are described, includes main program, high speed output subroutine, high speed input interrupter subroutine. The developed Switched Reluctance linear generator system prototype was tested experimentally. The phase current waveforms at two velocities are given.
