Direct Drive Permanent Magnet Wind Generator Design and Electromagnetic Field Finite Element Analysis

Abstract. In this paper, a new type of maglev wind generator is proposed. The working principle, structure characteristics and the finite element analysis of the new maglev wind turbine are introduced. The generator consists of a 2 degrees of freedom (DOF) maglev generator and a 3 DOF hybrid magnetic bearing. An eight poles active magnetic bearing with external rotor is added into traditional direct-drive permanent magnet wind generator. The rotor ring is hollowed, which can leads to the self-decoupling for magnetic fields between power generation system and suspension system. Compared with the conventional maglev wind generator, the proposed generator not only shows the same advantages of traditional maglev wind turbines, but also improves the axial length utilization and decrease the cost of motor control.

This paper presents a novel topology of dual airgap radial flux permanent magnet vernier machine (PMVM) in order to obtain a higher torque per magnet volume and similar average torque compared to a conventional PMVM machine. The proposed machine contains two stators and a sandwiched yokeless rotor. The yokeless rotor helps to reduce the magnet volume by providing an effective flux linkage in the stator windings. This effective flux linkage improved the average torque of the proposed machine. The competitiveness of the proposed vernier machine was validated using 2D finite element analysis under the same machine volume as that of conventional vernier machine. Moreover, cogging torque, torque ripples, torque density, losses, and efficiency performances also favored the proposed topology.

Flux Switching Motor

A dual mover yokeless multi-tooth (DMYMT) permanent magnet flux switching motor (PM-FSM) design is presented in this article for ropeless elevator applications. The excitation sources, including a field winding and permanent magnet, are on the short mover in the proposed design structure, whereas the stator is a simple slotted iron core, thus reducing the vertical transportation system cost. The operational principle of the proposed DMYMT in PM-FSM is introduced. The proposed dual mover yokeless multi-tooth Permanent Magnet Flux Switching Motor is analyzed and compared for various performance parameters in a Finite Element Analysis package. The proposed machine has high thrust force and cost-effectiveness compared to conventional dual permanent magnet motor. Finally, this paper also develops an analytical model for the proposed structure, validated by comparing it with Finite Element Analysis simulation results. Results show good agreement between analytical prediction and Finite Element Analysis results.
