Classical DC excited synchronous generator for high power direct driven wind turbine: Optimal design and FEM validation

摘要

The study considers a 7.6 MW, 180 poles, excited synchronous generator, for direct-drive wind turbine units. The paper introduces an optimal design and finite element verifications and it compares these results with literature. Design with MATLAB, 2D FEM analysis and the optimal design represent the core of the paper.
