AB - Purpose The purpose of this paper is to obtain an accurate methodology for

modelling and analysis of the permanent magnet synchronous generator connected to
power electronic components.Design/methodology/approach This paper presents the
methodology of the co-simulation of a permanent magnet synchronous generator. It
combines Simulink, Maxwell and Simplorer software to demonstrate the electrical
machine behaviour connected with the power electronics’ circuit. The finite element
analysis performed on the designed machine exhibit a more accurate behaviour over
simplified Simulink models. Results between both simulation and co-simulation are
compared to measurements.Findings The co-simulation approach offers a more accurate
depiction of the machine behaviour and its interaction with the non-linear
circuits.Research limitations/implications This paper focuses on the interior
permanent magnet type of PMSG and its interaction with a passive rectifier
(nonlinear circuit).Practical implications The advanced capabilities of the co-
simulation method allow to analyse more variations (geometry, materials, etc.), and
its interaction with non-linear circuits, than previous simulation
techniques.Originality/value The co-simulation as a tool for analysis and design of
systems interconnected with unconventional and conventional electrical machines and
prototypes, and the comparison of the obtained results with classical analysis and
design methods, against measurements obtained from the prototype.
