Abstract

This paper investigates the prospect of permanent magnet vernier machine (PMVM) technology for wind power applications. Two types of PMVMs are defined based on the winding arrangements and resultant gear ratio ranges. A comprehensive design study of the selected PMVM topologies is conducted at 1 and 3 MW power levels. The optimized candidate designs of the PMVMs are then evaluated and also compared against the equivalent permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) in terms of performance, costs, size and mass. While the existing research publications mainly focused on the PMVM designs of ( G r = 5 ), this study reveals that the pole/slot combinations of PMVMs with ( G r ≤ 5 ) are more appealing as there is a good trade-off between a reasonable power factor and high power density in these designs. It shows, in this paper, that the PMVM is a promising alternative to common PMSM technology for utility-scale wind-turbine drive-train applications.
