The advantage of using a permanent-magnet induction generator (PMIG) instead of a conventional induction generator is its ability to suppress inrush current during system linking when synchronous input is performed. Induction machines excited with permanent-magnet (PM) are called permanent-magnet induction generators. This paper presents an exhaustive survey of the literature discussing the classification of permanent-magnet machines, process of permanent-magnet excitation and voltage build-up, modelling, steady-state and performance analysis of the permanent-magnet induction generators.
