Abstract

A coupled field-circuit method by taking into account the saturation is proposed in this paper. The stator winding inter-turn short circuit and the rotor eccentricity hybrid fault of permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) is analyzed. The harmonic currents were used in order to investigate this kind of fault in a 7.5 kVA PMSG suitable for low-power wind generation applications. Simulation results have shown that the sideband frequency currents at 25 Hz and 75 Hz, and the 17^th and 19^th order components of terminal currents can be used as fault detection criteria.
