Since the boom of the NdFeB magnets industry, the usage and potential applications for permanent magnet machines have grown exponentially to the detriment of traditional induction systems. In special ...

A distinct trend is emerging in the manufacture of wind turbine generators-the use of permanent magnets (PM). At the American Wind Energy Association’s Global Windpower 2007 Conference and Exhibition ...

Rare-earth-free permanent magnet generators (PMG) for offshore wind turbines with nameplates of 20MW are expected to be a reality “within three years”, following trials of a new-generation concept at ...

The Switch, a supplier of permanent magnet (PM) machines for marine applications, has launched the PMM850M PM machine, a ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...
