Design and Performances Evaluation of a PMSG used for Pico-Power Plant – a case study

The paper proposes a specific permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) configuration dedicated for wind power applications. A pico-power plant is considered, for an isolated site, for which a defined energy is available for a monthly period, based on the available wind speed. The transition from a basic PMSG topology towards a final best suited structure is presented. The designed characteristics and performances are shown, as well as the numerical validation by means of finite element method. The obtained results prove the suitability of the designed PMSG for the considered application and the perspective of daily produced energy.
