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.

Direct drive permanent magnet synchronous generator have the advantages of direct drive, simple structure, high efficiency and so on, in which make it become one of mainstream models within MW wind turbine presently. Making the direct drive permanent magnet wind power generation system as the main research object, based on the principle of the operating characteristics of direct drive permanent magnet synchronous wind generator ( DDPMG ), establish mathematical model of the whole system including wind turbine, direct drive permanent magnet synchronous generator and machine side converter, applying the method of stator flux orientation to make the study of vector control strategy, to build the simulation model of direct drive permanent magnet synchronous generator system with Matlab to simulate the operation of generator when wind speed changes by step, the results validate the reasonableness of the model and the correctness and feasibility of the control strategy.

The safety and reliability of the wind turbines wholly depend on the completeness and reliability of the control system which is an important problem for the validity of the wind energy conversion systems (WECSs). A method based on multimodel modeling and predictive control is proposed for the optimal operation of direct-drive wind turbine with permanent magnet synchronous generator in this paper. In this strategy, wind turbine with direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous generator is modeled and a backpropagation artificial neural network is designed to estimate the wind speed loaded into the turbine model in real time through the estimated turbine shaft speed and mechanical power. The nonlinear wind turbine system is presented by multiple linear models. The desired trajectory of the nonlinear system is decomposed to be suitable for the reference trajectory of multiple models that are presented by the linear models of the nonlinear system, which simplifies the nonlinear optimization problems and decreases the calculation difficulty. Then a multivariable control strategy based on model predictive control techniques for the control of variable-speed variable-pitch wind turbines is proposed. Finally, simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, and the conclusion that multiple model predictive controller (MMPC) has better control performance than the PI control method is obtained.
