The performance of a SRM is determined by its geometry, materials used and levels of excitation. In this way, this work investigates the influence of the stator and rotor back iron thickness in the performance of SRM. A multilayer neural network is proposed to learn the nonlinear characteristics of the motor. Data of flux linkages and torque are obtained through simulations of finite elements and used for ANN training. The algorithm developed in Octave allows the user to adjust the network parameters. The results presented confirm the feasibility of using ANN to establish a predictive model of SRM performance, thus enabling further investigation in the future.","PeriodicalId":21007,"journal":{"name":"Renewable energy & power quality journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76744931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective is to provide a comparison among permanent magnet synchronous generator PMSG with different topologies (rotor configurations). The analysis was performed using FEMM-2D simulation software, which is based on finite element method. Small wind and hydro power systems are very attractive to support the energy demand for rural areas or developing countries where the electrical microgrid infrastructure is limited. Claw-pole automotive alternators can provide low cost alternative to permanent magnet synchronous generators for small wind and hydro turbines applications. The objective is the integration of hybrid energy conversion systems in microgrids and the development of small stand-alone systems in rural environment.","PeriodicalId":21007,"journal":{"name":"Renewable energy & power quality journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80576594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
