Abstract

Renewable energy resources have attracted the attention of the power generation industry in recent years as they have no pollution and the advantage of unlimited energy harvesting. One of these resources is the wind that is available in most areas of the world. Electrical energy generation from wind power requires suitable generators that different types and systems have been studied in the literature. In this study, the design of a 1 kW, 50 Hz, and 500 RPM permanent magnet generator using analytical electromagnetic fields analysis is presented that is based on the initial requirements of a wind power generation system. Also, performance analysis of the designed generator of simulations using the finite element approach has been investigated. The simulation results of the generator characteristics including, output voltage and power verifies the initial design constraints and required performances. The novelty of this study investigates the design and performance characteristic analysis of a radial-flux PM generator for wind power generation application.
