Abstract

This work studies the control of a direct-current (DC) electric power system that is sourced by a variable-reluctance generator. The power system includes the generator and its switching inverter, a filtering capacitor, a distribution network and an electrical load. The network comprises a series resistor and inductor, while the load comprises a parallel resistor, capacitor and power sink. The voltage at the load is regulated by adjusting the rotor angles at which the inverter switches. Both steady-state and transient performance are considered. Simulations are provided to illustrate performance
