| Abstract | Extensive efforts have been made to develop reliable and efficient onboard generation systems for electric aircraft. Due to the inherited robustness, Switched Reluctance Machines (SRMs) have attracted attention as a promising candidate for an integrated starter/generator in aerospace applications. This paper presents two modes of operation: Constant Current (CC) and Constant Voltage (CV). A Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)-based tuning approach is employed to optimize the controller of a Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG). The presented controller is evaluated using a three-phase 6/4 SRG. The Control-Hardware-in-the-loop (CHiL) has been used to elucidate the viability of the explored control concept practically. |
