Design considerations of permanent magnet brushless generators

In the frame of the European Research Project RO 0054, there have been studied some aspects concerning the electric generator design. The electric generator, coupled to the Stirling engine, is the heart of the electric system of such kind of solutions for residential homes. In the paper is presented the analyze of possible solutions for the electric generator from different point of view - for example, rotative or linear- with the final target of choosing the optimum for an application. Also, there have been studied aspects regarding permanent magnet brushless generators, with conclusions for the project “Integrated micro CCHP-Stirling Engine based on renewable energy sources, for the isolated residential consumers from SouthEast region of Romania”.
