Permanent Magnet Generators
A Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) is a type of electrical generator that uses permanent magnets to create a magnetic field. This design eliminates the need for external power sources to energize the field, making PMGs efficient and reliable. They are commonly used in applications like wind turbines and small hydroelectric systems, where consistent power generation is essential.
PMG systems convert mechanical energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. As the rotor, equipped with permanent magnets, spins within the stator, it induces an electric current. This technology is valued for its simplicity, low maintenance requirements, and ability to produce electricity at varying speeds.
