Modeling of Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generators

Modeling of Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generators

This article focuses on modeling of an Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generator (AFPMG). The authors analyzed selected variants of disk generators, including coreless stator constructions and with iron core ones, also taking into account the Permanent Magnet (PM) arrangement in order to show the way to...
