A new generator topology for wind power generation
Aravind, C.V1, Muhammad Sartaj Khan2, Aminath Saadha3.
This paper illustrates the concept of an electrical machine designed for wind
turbine application. Recent studies in this domain propose the use of dual
magnetic circuit through a double stator or double rotor for various applications.
As a reference wind generator developed using an outer rotor developed with a
dual magnetic circuit. To design a generator with capabilities of delivering
electrical power output through connection with a wind turbine, generators on the
basis of slots-poles combination configuration were designed with interior
permanent magnet implementation on rotor using numerical design tool. Through
this software finite element analysis is applied to the models and analyzed based
on the magnetic flux results. The model configuration of 12S-10P is selected as
it provides an increase of 33% in magnetic flux flow. Furthermore, the machine
is further modeled under two modes of half motoring and only generating
operation to increase the capability of wind turbine operation under the low wind
speed. The efficiency obtained when simulated under various low wind speed
condition is an average of 75% under half motoring condition while when
operated in completely generating mode under the optimum wind condition the
efficiency lies in the region of 75%.
