Abstract:
The paper presents a procedure for the design of claw pole alternators for small scale wind power applications. The method involves a preliminary design stage by means of the classical magnetic circuit analysis and a detailed design stage involving a 3D finite element model. This technique has been implemented in the design of a multiple generation for a small scale gearless autonomous system. The developed model can be implemented for the optimization of the rotor claw geometry through a minimization algorithm.
