Hashim Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Petronas, Perak, Malaysia E-Mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to conduct an empirical research to design the electrical machine of a ceiling fan system purposely to generate additional electrical power. The conventional single-phase ceiling fan using an induction motor has a lower 30% efficiency. In addition, the wasted kinetic energy from the mechanical rotor rotation can be converted from mechanical energy to electrical energy. Literature review on topologies of an electrical machine, ceiling fan technologies, previous research on ceiling fan and air gap configurations was systematically analyse in order to obtain the optimum proposed designs configuration. In this research, the permanent magnet machine configuration was selected to propose two designs of ceiling fan machine. The newly introduced design concept in this study is the use of concept single rotor double stator that combining the motor and generator in one system. In this research, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has been performed to justify and to compare the outcome of the proposed designs using the An soft Maxwell software by analysing the induced voltage, flux linkage, flux distribution and air gap flux density.The selected optimized design will be used to develop a prototype for validating the procedure between the simulation result and experimental result.The testing of the prototype will be conducted experimentally to validate the output with the conventional ceiling fan in term of output power, efficiency and speed. Keywords: permanent magnet, ceiling fan, back EMF.

As will be seen, the air consumption. However, the rate of energy electricity conditioner and ceiling fan are classified as the most usage consumption is depends on surrounding factor for instance electrical appliances per day. Considering the climate and occupant, management, environmental standard, building temperature in Malaysia can reach up to 30° C during design and construction, mechanical and electrical daytime, people prefer to use these two applications as a equipment and climate [1].

INTRODUCTION Thermodynamic second law analysis can be employed to determine where losses occur in a given system. Inputs to this analysis include thermodynamic state information, mass flows, work transfers and heat exchange. Applications to vapor compression refrigeration and heat pump systems are outlined in references /1/ and /2/. However additional details of the processes are required to identify the nature of the losses. From this detailed information one can then begin to develop simple models useful in component or system thermodynamic optimization. A thermodynamic second law analysis is performed on an air cooled single stage mechanical vapor compression refrigeration system operating steadily under full load.
