This paper presents comparative results of an electromagnetic study performed in two different wound core transformer configurations in order to know the best configuration that reduce excitation current and core losses. The results show that octagonal wound-core (OWC) reduces the excitation current and eddy-current losses with respect conventional-wound core (CWC). The results were obtained applying 2D and 3D FEM simulations, taking into account the non-linear properties of the core. In the last part of this paper, several grades of grain oriented electrical steels and the combination of them are analyzed to find the best mixing percentage to reduce eddy-current losses and excitation current.

A typical slope has been comparatively analyzed with 2D and 3D FEM, it is showed that the length of surface load at top surface of slope shorted, the stability factor of slope of 3D model increased, which is far more than that of 2D model. In a certain degree, the safety factor got by 3D model is bigger than that of 2D model, so the safety factor of slope is underestimated by 2D model analysis sometimes.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare the methods of calculating the parameters of air-cored stator flux permanent magnet generator and to compare these results with the measurements of the designed and manufactured generator. The generator is to be designed for operation in a wind power plant. Design/methodology/approach An analytical method and 2D and 3D finite element methods (FEMs) were used to calculate the parameters of the coreless permanent magnet axial generator. The analytical method and 2D FEM were applied to individual cross-sections through the air gap of the machine. After the design and construction of the generator and measuring station, the results of calculations and measurements were compared. Findings The results of investigated calculation methods and measurements were found to be mutually compatible. Analytical methods and 2D FEM required proper interpretation of the results when comparing them with the 3D FEM. The results of the measurements and calculations showed the usefulness of the generator for operation in a wind power plant. Originality/value Full comparison of results of 2D and 3D calculations with the results of the measurements on the machine model confirmed the usefulness of fast 2D methods for the analysis of coreless generators. The results differed by the effects of leakage inductance of windings’ front connections. The application of an axial generator designed with the described methods in a wind turbine showed its proper operation.
