Electromagnetic & thermal analysis of synchronous generator with different rotor structures for aircraft application

Alternator delivers power to a system which has high speed operations such as aircraft, marine industry, and automobile industries. So, it is necessary to evaluate the performance of this alternator during high speed operations. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is an effective tool to analyze the perfo...
