Comparison of an Interior Mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator with a Synchronous Reluctance Generator for a Wind Application
This article presents a performance comparison of an
interior mounted permanent magnet synchronous generator (IPMSG)
with a synchronous reluctance generator (SynRG) with the same size
for a wind application. It is found that using the same geometrical
dimensions, a SynRG can convert 74 % of the power that an IPMSG
can convert, while it has 80% of the IPMSG weight. Moreover it is
found that the efficieny for the IMPSG is 99% at rated power
compared to 98.7% for the SynRG.
