Design and optimization of multi-MW offshore direct-drive wind turbine electrical generator structures using generative design techniques

The use of generative design as an alternative to typical structural optimization techniques opens the door new methods manufacturing. In this study, were used automated iterative process with extensive set control variables and initial models explore optimise stiffness weight different configurations for a 3 MW offshore wind turbine electrical generator structure. With approach adding process, 4% reduction in mass was achieved. modification geometry also help enlarge machine's operational range consequent growth energy gathering.
