Multi-criterion design and 2D cosimulation model of 4 kW PM synchronous generator for standalone run-of-the-river stations
(2015-01-01) Cetinceviz Y.; Uygun D.; Demirel H.
This study reports the analytical computation including performance characteristics such like load line voltage and output power in combination with coupled-field circuit analysis of a 4kW direct drive permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) to be used in a micro-scale run-of-the-river-station application. The specifications such like slot opening, pole embrace and magnet length of PMSG are optimized by using parametric approach including multi-criterion design optimization. Based on the optimized design, the model has been exposed to some transient coupled-field circuit analyses based on variable river flow speed and variable ohmic load conditions. The analytical studies related to finite element methods and conducted parametric approaches verified the effectiveness of the employed dynamic co-simulations.
Optimal design and verification of a PM synchronous generator for wind turbines
(2017-01-01) Cetinceviz Y.; Uygun D.; Demirel H.
This study reports the analytical computation including performance characteristics under no-load condition in combination with coupled 2D electromagnetic field-circuit analysis of a 4kW direct drive permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) to be used in micro-scale wind turbine applications. The specifications such like stack length, skew and magnet offset of PMSG are optimized by using parametric approach including multi-objective design optimization. It describes the methodology to gain required output performance such as output power, load voltage and maximum efficiency of the wind generator. Based on the optimized design, the model has been exposed to some transient coupled-field circuit analyses based on variable wind flow speed under no-load conditions. In addition to these evaluations; the experimental results verified the effectiveness of the employed simulations model related to finite element methods and analytical studies showing that that the induced voltage at nominal speed and no-load condition is at desired level and results obtained under no-load condition are in good agreement with the analysis and analytical results.
Transient analysis with coupled field-circuit model and experimental assessment of a PMSG used in small-scale wind turbine for water heating purpose
(2019-12-01) Cetinceviz Y.; Sehirli E.; Uygun D.; Ocak C.; Demirel H.
This paper introduces the detailed coupled field-circuit analysis including performance characteristics of a 4-kW in-running rotor permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) used in rural-type small-scale wind turbines for water heating purpose. The content of the work consists of design, analysis, optimization, production and testing processes and validation studies. An integrated 2D electromagnetic field and circuit model are used in the design and analysis processes. The electrical machine design involves complex and time-consuming processes. This model provides comprehensive information on machine behavior under different conditions and is an effective to demonstrate compliance with real load conditions prior to the manufacture. The goal of the optimization process is to find a design that offers cost, manufacturability and efficiency as well as generator output values. For this, a multiobjective optimization approach has been used. Typical design and simulation principles are applied to the designed PMSG, respectively, including calculation and evaluation of various output parameters for different simulated wind speed rates and varying load conditions. Furthermore, the analytical studies related to finite element methods and parametric approaches are presented in collaboration with experimental studies carried out for different load rates.
