Abstract

Renewable energy sources, especially wind turbine generators, are considered as important generation alternatives in electric power systems because they have no exhausted nature and not harmful environmental effects. Permanent magnet generator has a good prospect in small scale wind turbine application. Many types of generator concepts have been proposed and used, but most of the low speed application consist Permanent magnet generator. As compare to conventional electrically excited generators, PMG have many advantages, so it attracted towards interest of research. The purpose of this paper is to review Permanent magnet generator configuration, design methodology, design optimization, and analysis of permanent magnet generator. Different Machine configurations proposed in literature are also discussed for suitability to small scale wind turbine application.
