Generator is a tool that functions to converts mechanical energy to be electrical energy. In the generator, there are two main components consisting of rotor as the part rotating and stator as the static one. Generator needs main driver or primary energy source to be able to spin the rotor and one of the sources is wind. Generator combined with wind turbine can work as wind power plant. A test was carried out to analyze performance of the permanent magnet synchronous generator with the power capacity of 2 kW. The test was carried out on the wind energy conversion system in Pantai Baru, Srandakan, Bantul, D.I. Yogyakarta, by installing generator to a ten meters of turbine building. The duration of the test was 19 hours in two days, i.e. 5- 6 September 2015. The result of the test was the highest performance of the generator occurred at 12.40, on 5 September 2015, with power generated of 384.48 Watt, voltage of 53.40 Volt and current of 7.2 Ampere. At the same time, the wind blew at 8.76 m/s. Overall, from the test data, the average power generated by the generator was 79.79 Watt. Meanwhile, the wind blew at 4.33 m/s.
