Modelling of Permanent Magnet Axial Flux Synchronous Machine and Its Application to the Wind Energy Conversion

This paper presents the Modeling and Simulation of Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine for Single and Double Stator configurations. It proposes the AFPMSM to be used in Wind Energy Conversion System as the replacement of conventional induction generator. The MPPT technique is incorporated to extract the maximum power and the comparison of output powers with and without MPPT is presented.
