I want to learn to design a synchronous generator, I search and search but I don’t find nothing to that.
Do you have access to a machine shop to do this fabrication?Quix270 said:And for permanent magnet synchronous generator? Where I can learn to design that?

I gave you a link in #7.Quix270 said:In case I want to design a 500w synchronous generator powered by water, where I can learn to design it? Permanent magnet

Same here! I envy that he has land with enough hydro head to make some local power, and access to a machine shop to fabricate a generator. Very fun.anorlunda said:Good luck. I envy you. I would love to own some land where DIY hydro was practical.
I always compared a small hydro plant to a machine that prints money. The original Niagara Falls generators continued producing for nearly 100 years, with just a few drops of oil per year maintenance.berkeman said:Same here!

A synchronous generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by using a magnetic field and a rotating armature. It operates at a constant speed and produces an alternating current.
The key components of a small 500W synchronous generator include the rotor, stator, exciter, and voltage regulator. The rotor is the rotating part that generates the magnetic field, while the stator is the stationary part that contains the armature windings. The exciter supplies the direct current to the rotor, and the voltage regulator controls the output voltage.
There are various resources available for learning about synchronous generator design, including textbooks, online courses, and tutorials. You can also find information on manufacturer websites and engineering forums.
The key design considerations for a small 500W synchronous generator include the size and weight, efficiency, power output, and cost. Other factors to consider include the type of load it will be powering, the operating conditions, and the desired level of reliability.
Yes, there are design standards and guidelines for small synchronous generators, such as those set by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). These standards cover various aspects of design, including performance, safety, and testing.
