The article addresses matters concerned with optimizing the design of a high-speed six-phase turbine generator for a capacity of 4.5 MW intended for small capacity thermal and nuclear power plants to be located in the Arctic region. To optimize the design, versions of a six-phase turbine generator with two three-phase stator systems shifted by 30 electrical degrees, but with different numbers of slots (72, 48, and 36) while maintaining the basic geometric dimensions, are considered. For the selected versions, numerical calculations of the 2D electromagnetic field were performed using the finite element method, and the values of inductive reactances and current were determined in steady-state short-circuit modes. The advantage of the version with 48 stator slots has been revealed. The frequency spectrum of the magnetization force distribution and the magnetic flux density distribution along the air gap middle line at no-load and rated load have been analyzed in both three-phase and six-phase versions. In the frequency spectrum, the 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonics are very insignificant for any number of slots, as well as when only one component of the six-phase winding is in operation. In the case of using the six-phase version, it is possible to reduce the power per phase, reduce torque pulsations, reduce the harmonic content of current and voltage, and also to operate in the event of a failure in one of the three-phase systems. The use of a generator with 18,000 rpm rotational speed at small power plants is highly effective when operating in a cogeneration cycle and results in significantly reduced harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
