On the Possibility of Fractional-Slot Concentrated-Winding Permanent Magnet Machine for Wind Power Generation

In order to obtain the low synchronous speed, fractional slot concentrated winding is adopted in generation system. This paper analyzed the pole/slot combination rule, and studied the electromagnetic design method. By the finite element software, the characteristics is analyzed for this fractional-slot concentrated-winding permanent magnet generator, the result shows that this generator has a good performance, thus yet proves that fractional slot concentrated winding scheme is feasible.
