Abstract—Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)
systems are becoming more and more popular in recent years,
especially for the variable-speed situations. Various power
conversion topologies utilized in the PMSG systems are
introduced and implemented with both the finite element analysis
software MagneForce and the Matlab/Simulink. System
performances and design concerns are analyzed through
comparative study on the permanent magnet synchronous
generator systems with different power conversion topologies,
which will be useful for the design of permanent magnet machine
system.
