In this study, the tangential magnetic field Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet generator is designed and analyzed. In the generator, the adjacent permanent steel is sequentially arranged on the radial groove by the way of same polarity-oriented manner. The optimal design parameters of the generator are obtained by analyzing the influence rule of the generator leakage magnetic flux and leakage coefficient which is affected by the change in rotor pole pairs, permanent steel thickness, magnetic isolation air width, and air-gap length. The mathematical model of the magnetic field is developed and analyzed using the finite element method. Using the finite element method model, the diagrams of magnetic force line distribution, magnetic flux density modulus value, and magnetic flux density vector are obtained, which can be used to verify the validity of the main design parameters. A three-phase half-wave impulse-type controlled rectifier voltage regulator is developed with the function of regulator and rectifier, which proposes a solution to the output voltage instability of the Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet generator in a wide speed and load range.
