Design, Optimization and Simulation of a Novel Transverse Flux Permanent Magnet (TFPM) Generators

Transverse flux permanent magnet machines are known as machines with high power density and torque. This article presents a novel transverse flux permanent magnet disk-rotor generator. First, the initial design of the algorithm (sizing equation) for the proposed structure provide and then by (NPSO) combined with Local Random Search (LRS) method, optimized. In The optimization process, power density and efficiency should be maximum and total harmonic distortion (THD) of the internal voltage of the generator is minimized. Optimization process incorporated into the initial design of the algorithm and different dimensions and parameters of optimization generator is calculated. Electromagnetic field analysis of the optimized generator is subjected through 3D-FEA to obtain the generator’ characteristics. Finally, the results obtained from the optimization algorithm are compared with those of the 3D- FEM.
