STATIC AND DYNAMIC MEASUREMENTS OF A PERMANENT MAGNET INDUCTION GENERATOR: TEST RESULTS OF A NEW WIND GENERATOR CONCEPT

  • Conference paper
Recent Developments of Electrical Drives

Abstract

The Permanent Magnet Induction Machine, a new wind generator concept, is considered to be a highly efficient, low maintenance solution for offshore wind turbines. Static and dynamic measurements have been performed with a test machine. Due to the inherent soft behavior of that machine type compared to normal synchronous machines, no dynamic excitation is found during operation that might endanger the stability of the system. Results of static measurements show high efficiency and little reactive power consumption.
