The design and analysis of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) are presented. The interior permanent magnet (IPM) rotor was designed asymmetric and with the consequent pole approach. The basis for the design was a series-produced three-phase induction motor (IM) and neodymium iron boron (Nd-Fe-B) cuboid magnets were used for the design. For the partial demagnetization analysis, some of the magnets were extracted and the results are compared with the finite element analysis (FEA).

The purpose of this paper is the performance investigation of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) system, suitable for wind power applications and the comparison of the machine electromagnetic characteristics under open and closed control loop implementations. The copper and iron losses are estimated and compared for the above control systems with the use of the Steinmetz-Bertotti loss separation equation. In addition, the effect of the rotating magnetic field on the total losses is studied. The generator is simulated using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), while the rest of the components are connected to the machine model using a drawing window of the FEA software and suitable command files. The close loop control used in the present study results to less losses and greater machine efficiency. The main novelty of the paper is the simulation of the PMSG coupled with a converter and control schemes using FEA, which ensures more accurate results of the whole system and allows the detailed machine electromagnetic study, while the majority of existing papers on this topic uses simulation tools that usually simulate in detail the electric circuits but not the machine. The FEM model is validated by experimental results.

AbstractThis manuscript analyzes the operation of an interior permanent magnet (IPM) machine working as a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The partial demagnetization operation is analyzed. To obtain more accurate voltages and currents of the machine, finite element analysis (FEA) is used in co-simulation with the full converter and the converter’s control algorithm. Direct field oriented control (DFOC) shows robustness by maintaining the speed even with a 25% demagnetized PMSG. Also, an analysis of the rotating reference frame DQ signals is done to asses demagnetization.

This paper presents analysis, design, and optimization of a high-power permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). This generator is introduced in a large-scale wind turbine which can be used in a big wind farm. This generator is used in gearless configuration. The work focuses on the geometric sizing and the finite element analysis (FEA) of the PMSG. FEA is a good choice for analyzing problems over complicated domains. The flux, the electromotive force, the cogging torque, and the torque are calculated using analytical equations. Then, these parameters are obtained using finite element method (FEM) in the software FEMM and the compared with analytical results in order to validate our study. The second part presents the formulation of the optimization problem, including the optimization space, constraints, and objectives. The genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted in this design optimization in order to minimize the generator cost.
