Impedance models have been routinely used in generator design. Despite their many limitations, they are indispensable for rapid performance evaluation, which makes them also suitable for use in conjunction with design optimisation algorithms.
This paper discusses the combined use of impedance models and complexor diagrams in a.c. generator design. The approach is demonstrated by applying it to the design of a permanent magnet synchronous generator with surface mounted magnets on the rotor.
