The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

A new form of direct-drive PM generator for wind turbines is described. Despite being a very low speed machine, it is very light in weight because of its large diameter and the absence of iron in the stator magnetic circuit. Its efficiency is good and it offers the possibility of fault-tolerant operation and high-voltage output, eliminating the need for a unit transformer. A 2m diameter laboratory demonstrator is shown and initial measurements confirm design data.
