A permanent magnet synchronousgenerator (PMSG) is a device that converts mechanicalenergy to electrical energy. Permanent magnetgenerators generate electricity with the inside magnets thatcan be used to power other electric devices. A PMSG isa generator, where the excitation field is provided by apermanent magnet instead of a winding coil. In thisgenerator/device the rotor windings have been replacedwith permanent magnets. Its rotor is consisting of thepermanent that generates a field for excitation andreplaces the external supply source for the generator. Inmost of power generation plants, the synchronousgenerator is used. Now days synchronous generator is usedin all types of turbines for e.g. steam turbine, gas turbineand hydro turbine etc. The Permanent MagnetGenerator uses the magnetic field generated bya permanent magnet to convert mechanical energy intoelectrical power. It can be able to generate an AC current,with which it can able to power the whole engine andcharge the battery. This study helps to understand theworking and application of Permanent Magnet Generatorin a windmill turbine.
