Experimental Identification of the Optimal Current Vectors for a Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Machine in Wave Energy Converters

This paper investigates efficiency enhancements in Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSMs) used as generators in wave energy converters. A method is presented, which allows experimental identification of the optimal current vectors leading to minimal losses and maximum efficiency. Iron and inv...
