“…The on-going studies regarding the use of SRG for wind energy application proves it as a potential candidate alongside the conventional machines [17,[44][45][46][47]. The existing technologies for wind energy applications include the permanent magnet (PM) generators, doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), synchronous generators and also the squirrel cage induction generator [48]. However, the existing generators has its shortcomings such as the squirrel cage induction generator operates at constant speed as well as having large values of the capacitor to attain the power factor close to one.…”

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the recent development on the switched reluctance machine operating in generating mode in both the low and high speed operations. The machine consists of a salient rotor and stator poles and controlled via switching of the power electronic devices. There is a steady development of the machine operating in the motoring mode; however, its generating operation is still under study. This paper gives an overview of the machine, followed by the principle of operation in generating mode and briefly discusses the structure and types of control methods which involve the switched reluctance generator (SRG). Due to its geometry simplicity and advantages such as robust, ability to operate over a wide speed range and absence of permanent magnet and windings on the rotor, the SRG promises to be a good candidate for variable speed application.
