Design and Analysis of Fractional-Slot Concentrated-Winding Permanent Magnet Machine for Wind Power Generation

Abstract

In order to obtain the low synchronous speed, fractional-slot concentrated-winding PM machine is adopted to wind power generation system. This paper analyzed the pole slot combination rule, and then studied the electromagnetic design method by taking 12-slot and 10-pole machine. By using the finite element software, the characteristics is analyzed for this fractional-slot concentrated-winding permanent magnet generator, the research results show that this generator has good performance, thus prove that fractional-slot concentrated-winding scheme is feasible and effective.
