Abstract
A system and method is provided for generating AC power using a synchronous reluctance machine () or a salient-pole synchronous machine () and a power converter (). The present invention can be used to achieve power production for a synchronous reluctance machine (), or can be used to achieve AC power from a traditional salient-pole synchronous machine/starter () without dependence upon a rotor current which is subject to failure. In the power generation system, the control system and method can include a power converter (), controlled by a voltage command and at least one of a measured AC bus () current and voltage, and a DC link () voltage, for use with a synchronous reluctance machine () and a prime mover (), such that movement of the rotor of the synchronous reluctance machine () can be used to produce at least partial AC power generation on the AC bus ().
