Abstract
The prominent trend in wind turbine technology centers on the adoption of direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous generators (DD-PMSG), a choice driven by their capacity to deliver superior efficiency through the elimination of gearboxes.This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of the design, modeling, and control aspects of a DD-PMSG intended for harnessing wind energy conversion. Initially, the geometrical design of the generator is meticulously carried out, adhering to predefined technical specifications and constraints. Subsequently, an in-depth internal modeling, focusing on the electromagnetic behavior of the designed generator, is executed using finite element analysis (FEA) through the Ansys Maxwell RMXpert software. Finally, the external modeling and control system integration of the designed generator, connected to the grid through power electronic converters, are simulated using the Matlab/Simulink software suite. The resulting findings underscore the efficacy and viability of the proposed generator for wind turbine applications, affirming its potential to enhance wind energy conversion systems.
