Summary:This paper discusses the design process of a generator to utilize waste diesel engines in the automotive industry, and presents the results of the design, analysis, and test evaluation of a 78 kW permanent magnet synchronous generator. In the initial design process using the finite-element analysis and space harmonic analysis, the number of poles and slots was determined. Then, the generator characteristics were investigated by the torque per rotor unit volume method and the d, q-axis equivalent circuit. Last, the optimal size of the generator was determined. This process makes it possible to design in consideration of efficiency, inductance, material cost, and temperature characteristics. A prototype of the model was created and tested with uncertainty analysis, and a comparison between the experimental results and the results of the optimization was conducted to validate the analytic approach.
