An analytical study is performed of the relaxation of a generalized, topologically nonequilibrium MHD system (MHDS) with a large Re value. Attention is focused on identifying the energy source for solar flares as the relaxation which occurs when two magnetic loops with shielded longitudinal currents, separated from a magnetic arch by a poloidal magnetic field component, contact each other. The energy release is demonstrated to occur by a step-like transformation of magnetic energy which exhibits evolutionary characteristics similar to those of a solar flare. Examination of the transformation of hydrodynamical energy into thermal energy reveals that the phenomenon is a relaxation process, which indicates that solar flares may be modeled as the step-like transformation of magnetic field energy in a MHDS.
