A novel method, which utilizes harmonic for excitation, is presented to adjust the air-gap magnetic field for permanent magnet synchronous machine. The structure and basic principles of the hybrid excitation PM synchronous generator(HEPMSG) are introduced. The no-load and on-load electromagnetic field are calculated based on finite element method, and the waveform and effective value of the winding voltage and characteristics of the machine are gained for different loads. Calculation results demonstrate the new hybrid excitation scheme is feasible. This new method combines the advantages of PM machines and electrical excitation machines. The machine removes the brushes and slip rings, which makes permanent magnet machine keep simple and highly reliable.
