Abstract

Wind power system attracts most interest because of high-energy efficiency with environment-friendly. Small scale wind power applications requires a cost effective and mechanically simple generator in order to be a reliable energy source. The use of direct driven generators, instead of geared machines, reduces the number of drive components, which offers the opportunity to reduce costs and increases system reliability and efficiency. This paper presents the development of a coreless axial-flux permanent magnet(AFPM) generator for a urban wind power system. It is analyzed by electromagnetic simulation program Maxwell 3D
