The conventional linear permanent magnet generator (CLPMG) for direct-drive wave energy conversion (WEC) has experienced many drawbacks that are difficult to overcome such as low power density and bulky system volume. To improve power density, this paper proposes a linear magnetic-geared interior permanent magnet generator (LMGIPMG) with tubular topology, which artfully incorporates a linear ma...

The use of wind turbines is increasing at very high rates in many countries around the world. Studies to evaluate the impact of connecting these new generation units to the existing power systems must be done.

This paper reports the design, fabrication, and testing of a permanent-magnet energy harvester generator for body motion. The described generator was capable to extract up to 117μW of power from walking, employing a non-resonant rotational mechanism. The planar generator proposed is composed of a rotor having multiple NdFeB permanent magnet pole-pairs with an eccentric proof mass. The stator ha...

Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSGs) exhibit high efficiency and power density, and have already been employed in gearless wind turbines. In the gearless wind turbines, due to the removal of the gearbox, the cogging torque is an important issue. Therefore, in this paper, at first, design of a Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generator for a 2MW gearless horizontal-axis wind turbine, acco...

ABSTRACT: The wind turbine generator is operated such that the rotor speed varies according to wind speed to adjust the duty cycle of power converter and maximizes wind energy conversion system efficiency. The rotating speed of permanent-magnet generator should be adjusted in the real time to capture maximum wind power. This paper proposes a quite simple maximum power point tracking control sch...

Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Machines benefit from manufacturing advantages and reduction in end winding length through the use of tooth-concentrated fractional windings but display increased space harmonic content, leading to higher eddy current losses in the rotor iron and permanent magnets. The choice of a double layer tooth-concentrated fractional winding for the modeling and design of a 24 ...

The stator slot geometry of a cable wound permanent magnet synchronous generator for hydrokinetic energy conversion is evaluated. Practical experience from winding two cable wound generators is used to propose optimized dimensions of different parts in the stator slot geometry. A thorough investigation is performed through simulations of how small geometrical changes alter the generator perform...
