Advantages of PMG/PMA

    PMGA Generators bring many advantages:

    Optimization
PMGA designs a new generator for each customer. Each generator is optimized in order to fit with the requirements and reach high efficiency.

    Compacity & weight
Using permanent magnet allow to reduce size & weight. ENGELEC generators are compact and light.

    Simplicity
The rotor is directly driven by the turbine shaft. The generator is directly connected to the grid without frequency convertor.

    Production continuity

    Many mechanical breakdowns can be avoided by the removal of the gearbox.

    Reliability
Simplicity of the system, low speed & removal of intermediate components lead to an improved reliability. Magnets have a service life of several dozen of years.

    Efficiency
No more losses due to intermediate components: they have been removed. The global efficiency of the system is optimized. These efficiency gains bring additional production during the whole service life of the generator. When the permanent magnet generator replaces an asynchronous generator, efficiency is better, especially for the low loads.

    Noise pollution
Gearbox and high-speed asynchronous generator are very noisy. ENGELEC products can bring a solution to noise neighborhood problem.

    Service life
Rotation speed of all mechanical components is low and bring to a moderate wear. The result is less required maintenance.

    Ecology
Removal of gearbox system avoids use of oil and grease in big quantity. This is an advantage especially in a aquatic environment.

    Productivity
for the end user, productivity improvement is immediate. They come from the optimization of the generator, improved reliability, better efficiency and increased service life.
