This paper presents an optimal design procedure for a small permanent magnet wind generator which supplies a full-bridge diode rectified load. The aim is to improve the output voltage waveform of the generator. An electromagnetic-thermal design algorithm is proposed based on an analytical model of a surface-mounted permanent magnet generator. A comprehensive combined model; consisting of design program and simulation of the designed generator under rectified load; is utilized. Design variables are optimized over their appropriate limits using a genetic algorithm. The results indicate the improvement of the output voltage waveform.
