Characteristic Analysis of Small-Scale Wind Power Generator Using Magnetic Equivalent Circuit

In this study, the electromagnetic characteristics analysis of the permanent magnet small-scale wind power generator (PMSG) was performed based on the magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC). The circuit constant of the MEC was derived through the magnetic field of the permanent magnet. In addition, the characteristic analysis results according to the AC/DC load of the generator were verified by comparison with the finite element method (FEM).
