description The adoption of renewable energy sources, particularly wind energy, has seen remarkable growth in recent years. Wind energy generation requires efficient and reliable generators that can convert wind energy into usable electrical energy. Switched Reluctance Generators (SRGs) have been gaining popularity in wind energy applications due to their high efficiency, reliability, and low maintenance requirements. The multiphase switched reluctance generators are used especially in wind power plants due to their ability to operate in variable speed ranges. In this paper, a MATLAB/SIMULINK based model of Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG) is presented. The obtained results show good agreement under different operating conditions. The obtained results (current, voltage, torque, speed, flux, and angle of generator) are shown in graphs.
