Abstract

Department of Electrical Engineering at Tallinn University of Technology has been involved in the development of novel electrical machines for wind applications. This paper presents the analysis of the electrical parameters of a novel slow-speed slotless permanent magnet synchronous generator. Firstly, some of the design parameters are calculated and a simplified analytical mathematical model of the generator is constructed to calculate the output variables under different operational conditions. Secondly, some FEM calculations are carried out to check the validity of the analytical model. Thirdly, test results are analyzed and compared to the calculated values. Finally, the analytical model is evaluated and final output parameters of the generator are determined.
