Electromagnetic design and performance analysis of half direct-drive MW class axial flux permanent magnet generator for wind turbine
In the design of high-power direct-drive wind turbines,this paper proposes to design axial flux permanent magnet generators as high-power half direct-driven wind turbines to address the issues of large radial dimensions and high maintenance costs in the later stage.Taking the 2 MW semi direct drive axial flux permanent magnet generator as the research object,the parameter design principle and method are studied.By exploring the influence of different pole pairs on the output performance of the generator,the optimal scheme of the generator meeting the design goal is determined.The 3D finite element method is used to analyze the air gap flux density,voltage,current waveform,output power,loss and efficiency of the generator under no-load and rated load conditions,and verify the correctness of the electromagnetic design of the generator.The efficiency of the generator can reach 97.79%,which has the advantages of low loss and high efficiency.By comparing with generators in the existing research,it is concluded that the radial size of the MW half direct-driven axial flux permanent magnet generator proposed in this paper is significantly reduced,and it has better performance than the existing radial flux structure high-power semi direct drive permanent magnet generator in terms of axial dimension and cogging torque.
