Abstract
Synchronous reluctance generators with ferrite magnets in the rotor (PMSynRG) are a good alternative to synchronous generators (SG) with rare-earth magnets. The comparison between a SG with rare-earth magnets and a PMSynRG with ferrite magnets of the same diameter, stack length, power and speed is given in the paper. Twice as less magnets are required for the PMSynRG with ferrite magnets than for the SG with rare-earth magnets. The cost of the ferrite magnets is 4.4 times less than of the rare earth magnets. Also, the PMSynRG with ferrite magnets has much higher efficiency than the SG. The half-integer slot number per pole and phase is chosen to achieve rather low torque ripple without skewing the rotor.
Highlights
In variable-speed wind generators, synchronous generators (SG) with rare-earth magnets in the rotor are widely used
