In wind energy systems employing permanent magnet generator, there is an imperative need to reduce the cogging torque for smooth and reliable cut in operation. In a permanent magnet generator, cogging torque is produced due to interaction of the rotor magnets with slots and teeth of the stator. This paper is a result of an ongoing research work that deals with various methods to reduce cogging ...

Permanent-magnet couplers are widely used in various industrial applications due to their high functionality and economy. The magnetic field of the circuit a permanent-magnet coupler is divided by segmentation method, which magnetoresistance each area can be calculated. resistance flux characteristics outside obtained using equivalent model couplers. working point permanent magnet analyzed, ski...

The objective of this paper is to review direct-drive and geared generator systems and to identify suitable generator concepts for direct-drive wind turbines. The comparison of different generator systems in literature is discussed with the criteria based on the energy yield, cost, and weight. Different promising permanent-magnet (PM) machines proposed in literature are also discussed to find s...

An improved topology of a low-speed permanent magnet vernier machine called a dual-stator interior permanent magnet vernier machine (DS-IPMVM) is introduced to significantly increase torque density and power factor. Dual-stator is usually adopted in machine design for more torque and the abundant space utilization. Interior spoke-type magnet array in the rotor is designed for magnet flux focusi...

In order to improve the power density of permanent-magnet synchronous machine and reduce cost effective materials, this paper investigated approaches power-density improvement discussed influence flux-weakening level salient ratio parameters on characteristics torque for interior permanent magnet (IPMSM) based (PM) minimisation. Firstly, model PM minimisation can be established principle equal ...

In many machines, where permanent magnets are used, the effects due to cogging torque generated by permanent magnets (PMs) aggravate the output characteristics of the machines. This paper presents the method for reducing cogging torque in surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM). A new cogging torque suppression method called axial pole pairing is proposed. Compared to convent...
