Description
Summary:Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) is the most favorable generator in producing the electricity, especially in wind turbine industry. The PMSG has a higher efficiency compared to other generators as its excitation field is provided by the permanent magnet. This is an advantage for the generator as it reduces the maintenance cost of the generator. A suitable winding method for the PMSG can increase the performance of the generator. There are four types of winding methods that are widely used in the generator which are single layer winding, double layer winding, concentrated winding, and distributed winding. In this thesis, the single layer concentrated winding, double layer concentrated winding, single layer distributed winding, and double layer distributed winding are simulated in Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM). The PMSG is simulated and analyzed according to different winding methods. This analysis is aimed to compare different type of winding methods in order to enhance the efficiency of the PMSG.
