Design and Characteristic Evaluation of a Novel Dual Rotor Multi-layer Magnetic Pole Five-Phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator for Marine Power Application

In this research paper the design and characteristic assessment of a Novel Dual Rotor De-Coupled Stator Multi-layer Magnetic Pole Five-Phase PMSG (NDRDCSMLMPFP-PMSG) is studied for marine application. Extraction of marine energy requires a machine that has features such as High Power to Volume Ratio (HPVR), robustness and high capability of fault tolerance. A two rotor-stator system, multilayer magnetic poles (embedded in rotor) and five-phase winding arrangement makes the proposed generator desirable for mentioned application. The magnetostatic and transient analysis are used to design the generator optimally and for performance evaluation. Further, various characteristics like voltage generated, total harmonic distortion (THD) in percentage, voltage generated vs speed etc are examined for the NDRDCSMLMPFP-PMSG. Therefore, from the above examination it is concluded that, the proposed generator is robust, reliable and it is having higher efficiency.
