Abstract

This paper presents a single-phase grid connected inverter for an axial flux permanent magnet generator. The power is transferred by using a microprocessor based IGBT inverter to a 220V, 50Hz single-phase supply via a transformer. The five phase axial flux permanent magnet generator provides dc voltage through five bridge diode rectifier sets. The converter circuit operation is described. The performance of the proposed axial flux permanent magnet generator under various speeds and loads is demonstrated. The system performance is investigated which appears satisfactory.
