Sliding mode control of Switched Reluctance linear generator system

The scheme of the developed Switched Reluctance linear generator system is presented, which is made up of the three-phase 6/4 structure simple side Switched Reluctance linear generator and the three-phase asymmetric bridge power converter. The structure of the Switched Reluctance linear generator is described with the side elevation and the sectional drawing. The three-phase asymmetric bridge power converter main circuit is also described. The average output current of the Switched Reluctance linear generator system can be adopted as the control parameter of the output power closed-loop control. The sliding mode control strategy and the switch function are given. The single switch chopping scheme for the output power control and the double switches chopping scheme for the phase current control are also given. The simulated phase current waveforms and the simulated results in the output power are also presented. It is shown that the error of output power is within 4.0%.
