Design of disk type PM synchronous generator based on halbach

Abstract

This paper expounds the application merits of disk type PM synchronous generator in small-scale wind power generation .The characteristics of the disk type PM synchronous generator were analyzed and 8P, 200W disk type generator with 90 degree Halbach magnet structure was designed. Simulation and calculation are carried out by using finite element method. By comparing the 90 degree Halbach magnet structure and the traditional magnet structure of the disk type generator, the results shows that the 90 degree Halbach magnet structure can improve the air gap magnetic density, reduce the leakage of main magnetic circuit and the loss.
