This paper presents electrical and magnetic characteristics of a permanent-magnet induction generator (PMIG) under unbalanced grid voltages. The method of symmetrical components and two-dimensional finite element analysis (2D-FEA) are used to calculate these characteristics and the results are confirmed through experiments. Even if the voltage of power grids is unbalanced, the PMIG can operate at high efficiency over a wide range of slip and the built-in permanent-magnet (PM) rotor is little affected by the negative-sequence rotating field.
