Direct-drive permanent magnet generators for multi-MW wind turbines are low speed high torque electrical machines requiring large, heavy and robust structures to maintain the airgap clearance open and stable. The structural mass of radial-flux genera... Read More about Dynamic structural design of offshore direct-drive wind turbine electrical generators..
