Wind turbine generator permanent magnet stator

Can a permanent magnet generator be used for wind applications?

Due to recent developments in permanent magnet materials, especially Nd-Fe-El, high efficiency PM generators can be manufactured for wind applications. The present paper is aimed to outline the design, analysis of such a PM generator. The generator is an 8-pole permanent magnet generator rated at 5 kW and using NdFeB for the field excitation.

How to choose a wind turbine generator?

Among others is the design of the wind turbine generator. The desired generator should be small and light weight but such design always leads to a tradeoff in the output power aspect , . Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) and Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) are most commonly used in wind turbine.

What are the different types of wind generators?

HAWT are the most commonly employed and manufactured. Both types use aerodynamic lift to extract power from the wind and have the same sub- systems [9- 181. Due to recent developments in permanent magnet materials, especially Nd-Fe-El, high efficiency PM generators can be manufactured for wind applications.

Can a ferrite magnet be used as a wind turbine rotor?

Mirnikjoo et al. ( 2020) have proposed a double-sided flux switching permanent magnet generator with a ferrite magnet for using a wind turbine. In this structure, rotors rotate in opposite directions. To achieve the optimum performance of this structure, Taguchi optimization is used.

Which type of generator is used in wind power generation?

Various structures of generators such as permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs) (Bhuiyan and McDonald 2018; Kumar et al. 2020a, b; Liu et al. 2021 ), and doubly-fed induction generators (Djilali et al. 2021; Zhu et al. 2018 ), are the most traditional generators of wind power generation.

Does dual stator counter-rotating permanent magnet flux switching generator improve power density?

Regarding power density improvement, a dual stator counter-rotating permanent magnet flux switching generator (DSCRPMFSG) has been compared with a dual rotor counter-rotating permanent magnet flux switching generator (DRCRPMFSG) for wind turbine application.
