An Integrated Elitist Approach to the Design of Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Synchronous Wind Generators (AFPMWG)

This paper addresses an integrated and developed approach to the design of Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Wind Generator (AFPMWG). The proposed analytical method employs size equations precise inductance calculations simultaneously, as well considering mechanical constraints back-iron disc rotor. An Elitist Genetic Algorithm (EGA), such a high capability optimization method, has been used solve wind generator with predefined rating power. objectives coreless AFPMWG process are minimizing magnet consumption, maximizing machine efficiency, achieving maximum sinusoidal induction voltage, properties geographical area utilization. optimal calculation permanent thickness is also taken into consideration in this work. flux density distribution all parts investigated for magnetic saturation phenomenon. In regard, special attention paid rotor back discs, which made from nonlinear material optimum thickness. leakage considered by parallel computation via Finite Element Method (FEM) equations. Finally, three-dimensional two-dimensional finite element analyses validate performance according characteristics Iran resources. results show ability carefully.
