There are several methods to reduce EMF harmonics and cogging torque in permanent magnet generators. This paper investigates the influence of magnet embrace optimization and magnet skewing on the performance of a 2.5 MW 400 rpm radial flux permanent magnet (RFPM) wind turbine generator. The medium speed RFPM generator is designed by applying cost optimization to the analytical model and the design is verified using finite element analysis (FEA). The design is modified so that both the induced EMF harmonics and the cogging torque is minimized. According to FEM simulations, optimizing the magnet embrace results in reduction of the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the induced EMF to 1.5 percent whereas step skewing of the magnets reduces the cogging torque below 1 percent of the rated value. Skewing also introduces further improvements on the THD of induced voltage.

High Performance Harmonic Isolation By Means of The Single-phase Series Active Filter Employing The Waveform Reconstruction Method Senturk, Osman S.; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2009-09-24) This paper proposes the Waveform Reconstruction Method (WRM), which is utilized in the single-phase Series Active Filter's (SAF's) control algorithm, in order to extract the load harmonic voltage component of voltage harmonic type single-phase diode rectifier loads. Employing WRM and the line current sampling delay reduction method (SDRM), a single-phase SAF compensated system provides higher harmonic isolation performance and higher stability margins compared to the system using conventional synchronous re...
Implementation issues of real time position estimation for induction motors using rotor slot harmonics Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Keysan, Ozan (2013-11-15) In this paper, an approach to identify rotor slot harmonics, from motor currents or from induced voltage in an internal or external search coil voltage is described. The importance of this method is that instantaneous value of the rotor slot harmonics can be determined in real time. In this manner, it is possible to determine motor speed or rotor position of a motor in a short enough time, for use in vector control. This method is independent of motor parameters. Using this method an additional feedback bec...
Design and implementation of a voltage source converter based statcom for reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering Çetin, Alper; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this thesis, design and implementation of a distribution-type, voltage source converter (VSC) based static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM) having the simplest converter and coupling transformer topologies have been carried out. The VSC STATCOM is composed of a +/- 750 kVAr full-bridge VSC employing selective harmonic elimination technique, a low-pass input filter, and a /Y connected coupling transformer for connection to medium voltage bus. The power stage of VSC based STATCOM is composed of water-co...
Magnetically Geared Direct Drive Wind Generator Thermal Analysis Zeinali, Reza; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Yamali, Cemil; Tarvirdilu-Asl, Rasul (2017-05-27) This paper considers Dual Stator Spoke Array Vernier Permanent Magnet (DSSA-VPM) generator for the direct drive wind-electric energy conversion. The structure of the generator is described. Although how this design is optimized is not discussed, dimensions of the designed generator are given. In electrical machine design thermal performance is naturally of utmost importance. In this paper thermal performance of the design and how its temperature can be kept within the temperature limit imposed by its insula...
Analysis of Slot-Pole Combination of Fractional-Slots PMSM for Embedded Applications Dogan, H.; Wurtz, F.; Foggia, A.; Garbuio, L. (2011-09-10) During the design of permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM), the first step that engineers have to do, concern the choice of the topology, i.e. the slot/pole combination. Given that the performances of the machines are strongly related to this combination, the choice has to be fully justified. Fractional slots (FS)-PMSM offers several advantages and have been focused by a lot of researches. However, depending on the topology, these machines could have major drawbacks as magnetic noises, high iron and ...
