Authors : Messai F. . Makhlouf M. . Benalla H. . Messai A. .

Abstract

A modeling method of switched reluctance generator (SRG) for wind energy applications based on the nonlinear inductance model and electromagnetic field finite element analysis (FEA) has been proposed in Matlab/Simulink environment, the power inverter, excitation source and loads are modeled on Simulink/Simpower system in order to analyze both static and dynamic state. The nonlinear inductance model allows us to develop a control strategy that gives high performance controller with a closed loop was designed on PI controller. Simulation results show the efficiency of the modeling method and validate the applicability of the model.
