Switched reluctance generator control for wind power system

In this paper, the structure of switched reluctance generator wind power system is introduced. Then compared with the existing maximum power point tracking method, a speed disturbance variable step hill-climbing search method is given. And the implementation process of maximum power point tracking is analyzed in detail. Afterwards, a strategy of the maximum power point tracking and voltage closed-loop control is proposed in order to maximize the utilization of wind energy and ensure the power quality of the users. In the end, the proposed strategy is tested with the three-phase 12/8 structure switched reluctance generator and the semi-physical simulator RT-LAB control in hardware and software. It is shown that the proposed strategy has good control performance.
