Permanent magnet generators (PMG): the power of the EMR
What are the advantages of PMG? Loss observed with conventional generators such as "dual fuel induction", the rotor must rotate up to 10-20% of rated capacity before a reaction occurs, is removed with concentrated winding of generators PMG type. This type of generator thus appears to be ideal for slow-moving turbines, as is the case of tidal turbines. Generally concentrated windings of the PMG make it much more effective at slow speeds but also less expensive to produce since lighter and use less raw material than others. Converteam is not the only company to develop permanent magnet generators. Norwegians are very active in the field of marine renewable energy, particularly in tidal and wave energies where they are a world leader, grow through the company's patented concept SmartMotor PMG super quiet and super "concentrated" ( ICI). Their ambition is to equip future mega offshore wind turbines of 10 MW (still in draft form), mega tidal systems of 1.1 MW (like Atlantis Resources or Flumill) and wear performance of some wave power systems up 'to 3kw. Solar Stirling Plant This new concept of PMG should reduce costs by 50% and greater efficiency at low and medium voltage. SmartMotor made a quiet entrance on the stage of renewable energy by participating in marine engineering works carried out to Rolls-Royce and a spectacular entrance when AK was presented the 1000 Atlantis Resources, the double helix turbine most powerful in the world, able to develop 1MW. Smart Motor which is provided Altlantis the first ever PMG generator with a turbine. The first successful experiment, conducted with the collaboration of ABB could quickly open the doors to Smart Motor of China, South Korea, India and many European countries.
The turbine is another application Flumill no less dramatic immense capacity of permanent magnet generators. And it will not stop. SmartMotor also currently developing a permanent magnet generator PMG direct drive wind turbines for high-capacity, presumably that of the Norwegian company Sway, (see article in the February 17, 2010) which the machine will reach 10 MW and floating with a 1:5 scale version will soon be tested near the coast. PMG generator, wind power, permanent magnet generator, turbine novel: without neglecting the major technological advances made by the French company Converteam based in Massy, it appears clearly that Norway has taken the lead in research on energy technologies marine renewable. She did also never really let go!
