Power converter for switch reluctance starter/generator

The invention discloses a power converter for a switch reluctance starter/generator, and belongs to the technical field of fault tolerant control of switch reluctance generators and design of power converters. The power converter adopts a power converter topology, and effectively combines a switching tube and a load switching tube of each bridge arm by adding six auxiliary switching tubes S1-S6 in the conventional asymmetrical semi-bridge power converter topology of the self-excitation mode so as to realize redundancy when any switching tube of each bridge arm fails; and the switching tube has high utilization rate and strong reliability. Aiming at different fault modes, the power converter can be applied to various different control strategies, realizes fault tolerant operation, greatly improves the generating property and reliability of a generating system, and is quite applicable to fault tolerant control for the switch reluctance starter/generator.
