    This paper presents an analytical modeling method of optimal control variables to maximize the output power for switched reluctance generators (SRGs) in single pulse mode operation. A method to obtain the phase current equation used to determine the optimal control variables is proposed. The phase current equation is derived from the phase voltage equation in combination with the inductance model. The inductance model proposed in this paper is applied from the flux linkage function. The characteristics of the phase current and the energy conversion relations are analyzed to determine the optimal phase current shape. The analytical results indicate that the optimal shape can be generated when the SRG is controlled with the optimal control variables. The optimal shape is used for analysis based on the phase current equation to determine the optimal control variables. An 8/6 SRG experimental setup is used to validate the proposed method. The optimal control variables obtained from the proposed method are used to control the SRG. Based on the experimental results, the SRG can produce the maximum output power.

    This paper investigates the optimal values of turn-on and turn-off angles, and ratio of flux linkage at turn-off angle and peak phase current positions of optimal control for accomplishing maximum output power in an 8/6 Switched Reluctance Generator (8/6 SRG). Phase current waveform is analyzed to determine optimal excitation angles (optimal turn-on and turn-off angles) of the SRG for maximum output power which is applied from a nonlinear magnetization curve in terms of control variables (dc bus voltage, shaft speed, and excitation angles). The optimal excitation angles in single pulse mode of operation are proposed via the analytical model. Simulated and experimental results have verified the accuracy of the analytical model.
