abstract = {This paper presents a comparison of different design choices in small wind power systems design. A vertical axis wind turbine is considered,to take advantage of the fact that it is omni–directional, i.e. it can accept wind from any direc- tion. The vertical axis turbine that has been used is a type of straight–bladed Darrieus turbine coupled with a Savonius turbine, in order to built a self starting turbine. To chose the electric generator with its drive, an economic analysis is carried out on the basis of generator, power converter and me- chanical system costs. The optimal ratings are found on the basis of the maximum profit over payback time. An Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) generator and a Surface Permanent Magnet (SPM) generator are compared. The IPM generator can be driven in the flux weakening region, exploiting higher turbine rotation speeds. The paper shows that economic ad- vantages are obtained using an IPM generator, optimized together with the power converter. 1.},
