Abstract :Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) cores play an important role in determining the performance of wind power. Core materials of PMSGs influence magnetic flux density, minimize losses, facilitate heat dissipation, ensure mechanical stability, and balance cost considerations. The use of different core materials has a significant impact on PMSG systems efficiency and overall performance in wind generation. Therefore, this study provides a comparative performance analysis for PMSG systems using diverse core materials in wind turbine applications. The design and analysis methodology is based on ANSYS/MAXWELL simulation software. The proposed model for a wind turbine is designed with 380 V, 50 Hz, and 24 HP output power. The study investigates the performance characteristics of PMSG systems utilizing various core materials such as silicon steel, amorphous steel, and ferrite materials. During the design phase, the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is performed to compare core materials using ANSYS Maxwell. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the design approach using different core materials. The results help guide the selection of the best core materials to improve the efficiency and sustainability of wind energy systems based on PMSG.
