Abstract: Low cost BLDC motor as a generator for power wind systems is highly required in market. The wind power system is constructed from turbines, generator, rectifier, and battery. To enhance the converted power efficiency, construction of the effective combination of these components should be demanded. In this study, models for obtaining high performance of these components are presented. The developed model of the generator is calibrated after analysis of a BLDC motor on a test bench. Simulations are developed in PLECS/Matlab environment. It is possible to use the BLDC motor as a generator, which is an alternative use of the traditional PMSG. The model developed for the generator predicts a complete low-power wind system. The model itself is also tested in the implementation of a power transfer optimization system based on a boost converter.
