Rotor for rotating electric machine, method of fabricating the same, rotating electric machine and gas turbine power plant

Abstract

A rotor for a rotating electric machine comprises a shaft, a cylindrical permanent magnet put on the shaft, and a holding ring fixedly put on the permanent magnet. The permanent magnet is magnetized by Halbach magnetization, and the holding ring is formed by circumferentially alternately arranging nonmagnetic segments of a nonmagnetic material and magnetic segments of a magnetic material. Another rotor for a rotating electric machine comprises a solid, cylindrical permanent magnet, and a cylindrical holding ring put on the permanent magnet, wherein the permanent magnet is magnetized by Halbach magnetization, and the holding ring is formed by circumferentially alternately arranging nonmagnetic segments of a nonmagnetic material and magnetic segments of a magnetic material. A rotating electric machine is provided with one of the foregoing rotors, and a gas turbine power plant is equipped with a rotating electric machine including one of the foregoing rotors. A rotor capable of reducing stator core loss and vibrations when rotated, of providing high output and of being formed in a small size for a rotating electric machine, a method of fabricating the rotor, a rotating electric machine, and a gas turbine power plant are provided.
