Wind or Hydro Homo-Heteropolar Synchronous Generators: Equivalent Magnetic Circuit and FEM Analysis

Abstract

In an effort to introduce a low cost (PM less), low power electric wind or hydro generators, this paper reports on preliminary design aspects, equivalent magnetic circuit and 3D FEM analysis of a 2.5 KVA, 250-1000 rpm, reactive homo-heteropolar brushless synchronous machine (RHHBSM).
