Abstract
Switched Reluctance Machines (SRM) has emerged as an important possible technology for usage in More Electric Aircraft (MEA) in particular as a starter/generator. As a starter/generator, the SRM operates as a generator as well as a motor (starter). This paper focuses on SRM operation as a generator. The SRM was found to have limitations when handling heavy loads while operating in generation mode. This would not be desirable in aircraft operation where electrical loads are ever increasing. An improved control strategy is proposed in this paper to address the issue of SRM with load handling in generation mode. A custom designed specific 45kW 6/4 SRM was used in this study while designing the controller. The performance of the proposed controller in handling heavy load in aircrafts are validated through simulation
