A Comparative Study of Methods for Modelling the Structural Stiffness of Generator Components (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Jaen-Sola, P., & Mcdonald, A. (2016). A Comparative Study of Methods for Modelling the Structural Stiffness of Generator Components. . https://doi.org/10.1049/cp.2016.0314

Direct-drive generators are low speed electrical machines requiring robust and large supporting structures designed to resist the significant loads present during assembly and operation. Generator structures have to be stiff, especially in the radial... Read More about A Comparative Study of Methods for Modelling the Structural Stiffness of Generator Components.

A Lightweight Approach for Airborne Wind Turbine Drivetrains (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Jaen Sola, P., Mcdonald, A. S., & Oterkus, E. (2015). A Lightweight Approach for Airborne Wind Turbine Drivetrains.

Buoyant airborne wind turbines are devices capable of harnessing stronger winds at higher altitudes and with their automated and rapidly deployable system they are suited to niche applications such as emergency power generation. Although much of the... Read More about A Lightweight Approach for Airborne Wind Turbine Drivetrains.

Structural Analysis and Characterization of Radial Flux PM Generators for Direct-Drive Wind Turbines (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Jaen-Sola, P., & McDonald, A. S. (2014). Structural Analysis and Characterization of Radial Flux PM Generators for Direct-Drive Wind Turbines. . https://doi.org/10.1049/cp.2014.0866

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.

Adaptive Dynamic Control of a Wind Generator (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Jaen-Sola, P., Anaya-Lara, O., & Dominguez-Navarro, J. A. (2013). Adaptive Dynamic Control of a Wind Generator. In Proceedings of 9th PhD Seminar on Wind Energy in Europe

The main aim of the present project is to obtain a better understanding of the dynamic control of a wind turbine. To accomplish this, an adaptive dynamic controller was developed and connected to a wind DFIG Simulink model. In order to demonstrate th...
