Performance Analysis of Stand-alone Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generator Connected to Inductive-load

Abstract

Electricity is one of the most important sources of energy in the world. Its use is increasing rapidly for home appliances and industrial apparatus to support every activity in both developed and developing countries. Small-scale, distributed and autonomous power system are all developed in concern about the energy conservation as well as environmental problems. The effect of the home appliances and industrial apparatus which are classified as inductive-loads causes the terminal voltage of the generator to decrease significantly. This paper describes the performance analysis of the generator by using the analytical method when the generator is connected to the inductive-loads. To maintain the voltage regulation not exceed 10% under the influence of the inductive-loads, the designer of the generator must calculate the performance of the generator first before it will be made. The analysis results show that the generator is in good condition when supply the inductive-load at its rated value.
