Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generator

S. Sagaya Baptista, A. Kothandaraman, S. Vijay

Abstract


The axial flux (disc shape) permanent magnet machine is an attractive alternative to radial flux (cylindrical shape) machines in various applications. The axial flux configuration is amenable to the low-speed, high-torque operation energy system. In this project, the magnetic field distribution in a single rotor, permanent magnet, and ironless stator axial field generator in compact application is studied. The goal is to develop the analytical model for the machine by which we planned to conserve the mechanical energy which has been wasted in various applications like fans, electrical vehicles etc.
