Switched Reluctance Generators (SRGs) have become quite popular lately because they offer some big advantages compared to regular generator technologies. This comprehensive review paper is dedicated to illuminating the latest developments in the realm of SRGs, offering a deep dive into their operational intricacies, diverse types, design principles, control strategies, versatile applications, and the formidable challenges that lay ahead. The paper begins by explaining in simple terms how Switched Reluctance Generators (SRGs) work and uncovering the main ideas that make them special and different from other generators. It then proceeds to categorize SRGs into various types, providing an insight into the diverse design features that distinguish them. This foundational understanding sets the stage for a more profound exploration of SRGs. The review focuses significantly on studying the complex control methods that manage SRGs, exploring the advanced techniques used to make them work better and more efficiently. As SRGs continue to evolve, their applicability spans a broad spectrum, ranging from clean energy generation to enhancing transportation systems and powering industrial machinery. This review carefully explains how SRGs can help change many different industries for the better. It shows how they have a lot of potential to make big improvements. Nevertheless, SRGs do not come without their share of challenges, encompassing issues related to efficiency, reliability, and the complexities inherent in control strategies. This review serves as an informative exploration of SRGs, highlighting their potential across various industries. It acknowledges their development and urges them to keep exploring their promising abilities. As switched reluctance generators become more popular, this discussion provides a detailed guide for those interested in understanding how they work and navigating their complex features.
