This research focuses on the improvement of the Halbach magnet configuration within an axial flux generator for wind power applications. The use of a 2D parametric model is proposed as an effective approach to simplify the design optimisation process while maintaining accuracy and reducing computational complexity. The study aims to improve generator performance by maximising torque density and minimising the use of rare earth materials.
