Abstract:

In this paper, a comprehensive parametric analysis for an axial-flux permanent magnet synchronous generator (AFPMSG), designed to operate in a small-scale wind-power applications, is presented, and the condition for maximum efficiency, minimum weight and minimum cost is deduced. Then a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) procedure based on the results of parametric study is proposed. Matching between the generator side and turbine characteristics as well as the mechanical constraints is taken into account in design algorithm. A 2.5 kW AFPMSG with two parallel connected stators and surface mounted permanent magnets on its rotor disk is designed using the developed program, and then three dimensional finite-element analyses are carried out to validate the design procedure.

Virtual Wind Speed Sensor for Wind Turbines

A data-driven approach for development of a virtual wind-speed sensor for wind turbines is presented. The virtual wind-speed sensor is built from historical wind-farm data by data-mining algorithms. Four different data-mining algorithms are used to develop models using wind-speed data collected by anemometers of various wind turbines on a wind farm. The computational results produced by differe...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

A Permanent Magnet Generator for Small Scale Wind Turbines

This paper describes the development of a permanent magnet generator for small scale wind turbines. The generator has been designed for ease of manufacture so that it can be made by small mechanical engineering companies with limited electrical engineering knowledge. The generator has also been designed to have no cogging torque so that it can be used with all horizontal and vertical axis turbi...

Power Control Design for Variable-Speed Wind Turbines

This paper considers power generation control in variable-speed variable-pitch horizontal-axis wind turbines operating at high wind speeds. A dynamic chattering torque control and a proportional integral (PI) pitch control strategy are proposed and validated using the National Renewable Energy Laboratory wind turbine simulator FAST (Fatigue, Aerodynamics, Structures, and Turbulence) code. Valid...
