Abstract

This paper introduces a Permanent Magnet Double Rotor Generators (PMDRG), single stator, double rotating rotors with symmetrical air-gaps machine. It is capable to deliver independently power by two generators in a single machine. The proposed study is about the circuit diagram of PMDRG model, and controlled dynamics by Proportional Integral (PI) control system and introduces the simulation by MATLAB/Simulink. The machine should be installed for wind energy application aiming a more compact and efficient power production. The PI control system is commonly used for electric machines due to its simplicity and effectiveness in eliminating steady-state error. In PMDRG system, PI controllers are naturally used to regulate their rotors speeds, which in turn controls the active power output.
