Designing a Transverse Flux PMSG with Analytical Methods for Applications in Wind Turbines

This paper proposes and describes the main steps for developing a flexible methodology for the analytical design of Transverse-Flux Generators. The aim of this methodology is to have a validated tool for implementing new topologies of TF-PMSG's for their use in wind turbines located in regions with higher wind potential. The higher specific torque and power densities is the main advantage of TF-PMSG technology against other topologies of PMSG machines and conventional machines. The methodology is well described in the form of an algorithmic solution. Finally, the proposed methodology is validated with JMAG-Designer 12.0.
