description This article presents a methodology to determine the control objectives of conduction angle control in generating mode of operation in a switched reluctance machine. First, the performance in motoring mode of control is compared with generating mode for different operating points. Then, the key optimization objectives are established to improve a switched reluctance machine's performance in generating mode. A multiobjective optimizer is used to select the conduction angles. The proposed generating-specific objectives are maximizing source current per torque and minimizing torque ripple. These objectives are then compared with the motoring-specific objectives, such as maximizing average torque and minimizing torque ripple for a wide speed range. Finally, the proposed generating objectives have been validated experimentally using a three-phase 12/8 switched reluctance machine.
