Abstract

The present paper refers to some examples that use the finite element method (FEM) in the process of analysis, design and optimization of the electrical machines used in wind energy conversion systems. The 2D-FEM program Opera 13 of Vector Fields is used in the analyzed examples. These examples refer to two types of synchronous generators with permanent magnets. Some possibilities and advantages of electrical machine optimization, using the FEM-programming packages available today, are pointed out in the present paper.
