Abstract

Flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machines have attracted wide attention in many rotating applications that require high-power density. In this research, we propose for the first time a novel six-phase FSPM generator with a stator featuring a V-shaped flux-focusing magnet arrangement. The design is targeted for low-speed wind power generation. To achieve the design objectives as a wind generator, the highly comprehensive structural parameters, including the number of rotor poles, split ratio, and rotor pole width, are designed and optimized using 2D finite-element analysis. From findings, the optimal stator/rotor pole combination is discovered to be 12/19 for the considered power and speed requirements. When compared to the initial structure, the optimized structure of the V-shaped FSPM generator is found to produce a significant improvement in EMF, cogging torque, electromagnetic torque, power, and efficiency. The power-generating performance of the proposed FSPM generator is found to be outstanding when compared to the radial-flux PM generators described in the literature. Therefore, the proposed V-shaped FSPM generator is capable of being used for low-speed wind power generation. The machine configuration adjustment approach presented in this work can also be utilized for the design of permanent magnet wind generators.
