Modelling and Analysis of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Reluctance Generator for Wing Energy Conversion System

Abstract

The permanent magnet synchronous reluctance generator (PMSRG) is an innovative electrical machine that combines the benefits of both permanent magnet and reluctance torques. In recent times, the synchronous reluctance generator (PMSRG) has gained significant attention in the industry due to its unique characteristics. This study emphasizes the comprehensive analysis, modeling, and simulation of a PMSRG drive system, highlighting its distinguishing characters in comparison to other generators used in similar applications. By employing dynamic equations, the PMSRG's mathematical base is established, and the d-q transformation strategy is implemented for vector control. Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) technology is utilized to model and simulate the PMSRG without rotor cage or magnetic material. The MATLAB Simulink environment is employed to simulate and customize the PMSRG model. This simulation takes into account speed variations under different frequencies and load conditions, further enhancing the understanding and potential of the PMSRG in practical applications. Apart from that this analysis also focuses on highlighting the distinctive features of the PMSRG, demonstrating its potential for improved energy conversion efficiency and reduced losses compared to traditional motors. These findings contribute to a better understanding and optimization of PMSRGs, making them a promising option for various industrial and renewable energy applications.
