Abstract
In the current era of rapid development in renewable energy technology, generators serve as one of the most critical components in energy conversion systems, with their performance directly impacting overall generation efficiency. With the increasing demand for direct-drive technology and low-speed/high-torque markets, axial flux, ironless permanent magnet generators are gaining significant attention in the industry due to their high performance, low manufacturing costs, and lightweight design. This study aims to develop a one-kilowatt rated axial flux ironless permanent magnet generator by employing the Halbach arrangement. Simulation software is employed to analyze the magnetic field distribution between the rotor and stator, calculate the magnetic flux density, and ensure a uniform field distribution, enhancing both generation efficiency and output stability. Moreover, the ironless structure effectively eliminates the hysteresis and eddy current losses associated with traditional iron cores, significantly reducing the overall weight and improving operational efficiency. Simulation results indicate that adjusting the rotor’s magnetic field directional arrangement can significantly reduce magnetic field fluctuations. In addition, integrating key design parameters—including the number of poles, back iron structure, winding coil count, and wire diameter—further enhances the overall performance of the generator. Compared with conventional axial flux permanent magnet generators, the Halbach generator developed in this study achieves over a 10% increase in power output while maintaining an operational efficiency above 90%. In summary, the application of the Halbach arrangement in the design of axial flux ironless permanent magnet generators provides a highly efficient power generation solution for low-speed/high-torque renewable energy systems.
