Analysis of a flux-switching permanent magnet generator for small-scale water power systems

摘要

In this study, a three-phase flux-switching permanent magnet generator (FSPMG) with 12 stator slots and 10 rotor poles was proposed and designed for small water power generation systems. The topologies with different rotor pole combinations including the 12 stator slots and 11 rotor poles also comparatively studied in this paper. The design parameters and the generator dimensions were optimized by evaluating the electromagnetic performance, including back-emf, cogging torque, stator and rotor iron losses, etc., which obtained by using the Maxwell, a two-dimensional analytical simulation software.
