Jaen-Sola, P., & McDonald, A. S. (2014, September). Structural Analysis and Characterization of Radial Flux PM Generators for Direct-Drive Wind Turbines. Presented at 3rd Renewable Power Generation Conference (RPG 2014), Naples, Italy
Wind turbine direct-drive generator structures are analysed in order to optimise and reduce mass. A method for modelling key stiffness parameters including a magnetic air-gap stiffness is outlined. Different approaches are used to parametrically calc... Read More about Structural Analysis and Characterization of Radial Flux PM Generators for Direct-Drive Wind Turbines.
