Análise comparativa dos resultados da simulação computacional e protótipo experimental de um gerador síncrono de ímãs permanentes

Abstract

Clean energy generation is on the agenda of discussions in several countries, mainly for energy development policies and a government's strategy for the country's development. Electrical energy consumption by machines in industry varies widely depending on the type of machine, its energy efficiency and operating time. Electrical machines such as motors, compressors and processing equipment are common in industry and can represent a significant portion of total electricity consumption. This master's thesis aims to find out how close the results obtained through simulation software, used in the design of electrical machines, are to the practical results measured after manufacturing the machine. A comparison will be presented between the data obtained in the simulation via finite element analysis software, and the data obtained via experimental tests in the laboratory, after its physical construction. The research method used in the work is Action Research. The electrical machine in question is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, with a power of less than 1 kilowatts, that is, into micro energy generation.
