Design and Development of Axial Flux Generator using ANSYS RMxprt
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: ElectricalMachine
Abstract
This paper describes the design aspects and analysis of dual rotor and single stator Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) machine. The inner stator consists of concentrated windings and the outer rotor consists of permanent magnet. Since there is no core in the stator, cogging does not occur. The modelling and analysis of the iron cored machine was done using Ansys RMxprt. The measured performance of the prototype matches the predicted results. Finally, a prototype machine is fabricated, and experiments are carried out to test its performances by comparing with design topology. The proposed machine has advantages such as a simpler structure, operates at low speed, yield higher energy and light weight.
Keywords
