Abstract
A control system for and method for controlling a switched reluctance generator to maintain stable control of the generator in the continuous current mode. This is achieved by sensing the load on the generator, the speed of the rotor and the position of the rotor with respect to each phase winding in order to derive switching command signals to maintain the volt-seconds applied to the winding in each phase period so as to inhibit progressive flux growth in the phase windings by actuation of the controller switches.
