Appropriate Switched Reluctance Generator for Wind Energy Domestic: Design and Electromagnetic Performance
Authors: ,
Abstract: This study explores the suitability of Switched Reluctance generators (SRGs) for domestic wind energy applications, focusing on design considerations and electromagnetic performance factors. The design aspects encompass rotor and stator configurations, integration with wind turbines, and material selection for durability and cost-effectiveness. Electromagnetic performance factors such as torque density, efficiency, power factor, and control system integration are crucial for optimizing energy conversion and system stability. Our goal is to enhance torque performance by carefully selecting the number of phases and varying combinations of stator and rotor pole numbers (specifically, 6/4, 8/6, and 12/8). To ensure a fair comparison, we maintain the same main dimensions across all topologies. This involves key parameters such as the inner and outer diameters of the stator, the height of the rotor poles, the air gap length, the stator pole height, the stack length, and the width of the stator yoke. Our analysis has revealed that increasing the extinction angle has a significant impact on the system's behavior. These observations highlight the intricate nature of the system's dynamics and stress. the need for careful optimization of these parameters to achieve superior performance. By addressing these factors, SRGs can serve as a dependable and efficient solution for producing wind energy in residential areas, thereby promoting. Greater access to renewable and sustainable energy sources for households.
