| Abstract |
This paper presents a comparative study between the axial-flux and radial-flux permanent-magnetsynchronous generators for a 3 kW wind turbine application. This study emphasizes the most cost-effectivesolution to be implemented by the industrial partner. There are three constructive types ofelectric generators considered in this work. All are based on permanent-magnet synchronousgenerators (PMSGs), but one has an axial-flux topology, the other one is a radial-flux outer-rotormachine and the third one is a radial-flux inner-rotor machine. Finite-element field analysis was madefor the three PMSGs in order to compare their efficiency and active materials estimated cost. Theresults show that the axial-flux PMSG is the best solution for micro-wind turbine application. |
