Abstract

Prior power conversion system operable in generating and starting modes have utililzed brushless generators which are suitable for only certain applications. In order to overcome this problem, a power conversion system operable in generating and starting modes utilizes a switched reluctance motor/generator which is reliable and inexpensive and which can be used in a variety of environments.
