Provided with the reduction of the cogging torque by skewing slots and simultaneously the decent output performance, an analysis of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the best skewing angle with the lowest cogging torque is found and validated with the finite element method (FEM) software, ANSYS/Maxwell. To overcome the repellence of the cogging torque...
The paper presents the concept and results of simulation and experimental research of a claw pole generator with hybrid excitation. Hybrid excitation is performed with a conventional coil located between two parts of the claw-shape rotor and additional permanent magnets which are placed on claw poles. Within the research first a simulation and next constructed experimental model has been developed...
A Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG), part of a wind turbine, has a function to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. To rotate the first cycle, the generator is blocked by an opponent torque called detent torque/unload torque or cogging torque. This study aim to reduce the cogging torque, modifying teeth formation on the surface of stator teeth. Simulation of the model used...
Radial flux permanent magnet generator have higher output voltage and torque capability than axial flux permanent magnet generator. The efficiency is also higher than axial flux permanent magnet due to the lack of rotor windings have high power density and torque per current ratio, but the large cogging torque can be generated. Cogging torque would be the source of acoustic noise and vibration. It...
This paper discusses about the effects of cogging torque due to the amount of stator slot present in a typical permanent magnet generator using finite element analysis. All parameters other than stator slot number are kept at a constant to extract the cogging torque waveform on each run of the simulation using the weighted stress tensor method. The design of the generator itself is also kept at a...
This paper describes two alternative designs of a direct-drive permanent-magnet generator for use in a novel sea-wave electrical generator. The basic system is briefly described and the target specification is given from the wave device. The design for a fractional-slot high-pole number brushless permanent-magnet generator and a torus generator are sized and developed using the design packages SPEED...
Low cost and low cogging torque are the most important aspects in the design of direct drive PM wind generators. In this paper a low cost PM wind generator with an irregular, parallel slotted stator is analysed with respect to cogging torque. The sensitivity of average torque and cogging torque to machine dimension variations are investigated. From this a method is proposed whereby regions of low...
This paper presents a new double-stator directly driven permanent magnet machine for wind power generation. The machine configuration is so unique that it can significantly improve the torque density with small cogging torque. Because of the nature of double-stator windings, the machine can flexibly change their connections, hence providing a constant output voltage over a wide speed range for battery...
The rotor of a typical water current turbine rotates below 100 rpm. In conventional hydro installation the generator is coupled to the turbine via a gear box, so that it can typically rotate at a speed of 1500 or 1800 rpm. The water current turbine can be simplified by eliminating the gear box and by using a low-speed generator, the rotor of which rotates at the same speed as the rotor of the turbine...
In the present study, a novel small permanent magnet generator is proposed. Various characteristics are analyzed using the FEM. A suitable structure for high power and low cogging torque is investigated. Low-cogging-torque characteristics can be achieved by optimization of the auxiliary pole shape. The proposed generator is a low cogging torque generator that operates at low speeds and so is expected...
In a permanent magnet machine cogging torque is produced due to the interaction between the rotor magnets and the slots and teeth of the stator. This paper is a result of an ongoing research work that deals with reduction of cogging torque in dual-rotor radial flux permanent magnet generator (DRFPMG) for direct coupled stand-alone wind energy systems. The DRFPMG is an existing machine design. Two...
The paper presents numerical and experimental results of a 1.6 KW and 3 kW wind generators with permanent magnet claw poles. A 3D model based on finite element method (FEM) considering the nonlinearity of the magnetic circuit and the movement of armatures was used to calculate the generator's characteristics at load and no-load. Experimental tests were conducted in order to validate the numerically...
