Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Case Study

This case study investigates the generator of a large offshore Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT). In particular this case study focuses on the effect of the inherent cyclic torque loading of the VAWT on the generator in terms of the costs and losses experienced. A spectrum of torque control strategies were created based on the ratio q of the allowed electrical torque variation to the mechanical...

Modeling and Control Analysis of Wind Turbine of Two Bladed and Three Bladed Wind Turbine Systems

The wind power industries arepresently the fastest raising renewable energy sector throughout the world compare to other sourses. the main aim of this paper is to develop the mathematical model and implemented in simulations for torque control of two bladed and three bladed wind turbine, by changing coefficient of power, tip speed ratio and pitch angle values for different wind speeds.To ensure...

Analysis and Design of a Permanent-Magnet Outer-Rotor Synchronous Generator for a Direct-Drive Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine

In Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSGs) the reduction of cogging torque is one of the most important problems in their performance and evaluation. In this paper, at first, a direct-drive vertical-axis wind turbine is chosen. According to its nominal value operational point, necessary parameters for the generator is extracted. Due to an analytical method, four generators with differen...
