Research on cogging torque optimization design of permanent magnet synchronous wind turbine

Abstract

Cogging torque is one of the unique problems of permanent magnet generators. Its main cause is the uneven distribution of the generator’s magnetic permeability, which directly affects the starting and running performance of the generator. The study of cogging torque suppression methods is of great significance for improving the operating stability and service life of generators. Through the analysis of the principle of cogging torque, an optimization method for the amplitude of cogging torque based on Taguchi algorithm for the two parameters of pole arc coefficient and skew angle is established. And the finite element analysis method is used to quantitatively compare the characteristic parameters of the generator model before and after the optimization by Taguchi algorithm. The results show that when the pole arc coefficient and the angle of the chute are in the optimal value at the same time, the cogging torque of the generator can be greatly reduced, and its air gap magnetic density waveform and induced electromotive force waveform are ideal, which provides a research method for the design and parameter optimization of large megawatt permanent magnet synchronous wind turbines.

“…Observe that if the d-and q-axis inductance values are not the same, that is, non-zero, then the d-and q-axis currents are related to displacement angles [5]. In contrast, if the displacement angle is 0, then the d-axis voltage is related to the average impedance.…”
