Scholarly Research Program Delivery Order 0011: Concept Design for a 1 MW Generator Based on a Permanent Magnet Rotor (Turbine Driven)
Abstract
The final report documents a conceptual design for a generator capable of generating 1 MW electrical output at 200 VDC with a shaft speed of 15,000 rpm and a maximum outer diameter of 15 inches. It is based on an interior permanent magnet rotor configuration with three phase output. The designs were developed and analyzed using the PC-BDC software which is part of the SPEED (Scottish Power Electronics and Electric Drives consortium) motor/generator analysis suite. Results indicate that the 1 MW generator would have an active magnetic weight of 158-300 lbms which would translate into a total machine weight of approximately 250 - 450 lbms. Thermal management of the designs was not analyzed in detail due to the limited scope of the project. This effort was performed under a delivery order contract to Motorsoft; Universal Energy Systems was the contractor.
