Permanent magnet (PM) excitation is employed for synchronous machines of increasing rating throughout the last years and has currently been applied for units within the 5 MW categories. The absence of excitation winding losses helps to achieve high potency values Of the various magnet material technologies (ferrite, AlNiCo, rare earth) these days materials of high specific magnetic energy, ideally neodymium-iron-boron, became common place as a result of air-gap flux densities no but in typical machines will be complete, albeit at comparatively high value.
Arrangement of the magnets on the rotor will be on the cylindrical rotor surface (surface-mounted) or in slots (inset magnets) or at intervals the rotor iron (buried magnets), the later technique permitting flux-concentration styles. With surface-mounted magnets the air-gap reluctance is analogous thereto of a turbo-type machine. With inset and buried magnets there’s a variable reluctance force component; typically Xd andXq.
It is understood that with PM excitation the inductance voltage isn't adjustable; of active and reactive power only one is adjustable in grid operation.
