Construction and Design of a Modular Permanent Magnet Transverse Flux Generator

Abstract

A simple construction of a modular transverse flux generator with permanent magnets in the rotor is proposed in the paper. The specific technology is detailed and an analytical design algorithm is developed. A simplified model is proposed for calculating the machine heating and three dimensions magnetic flux calculation via finite element method (FEM) is carried on in order to check the main generator characteristics.
