第一本书的摘要
ABSTRACT
The rotor of a typical wind turbine rotates at a speed of 20-200 rpm. In conventional wind
power plants the generator is coupled to the turbine via a gear so that it can typically rotate at a
speed of 1000 or 1500 rpm. The wind power plant can be simplified by eliminating the gear and by
using a low-speed generator, the rotor of which rotates at the same speed as the rotor of the turbine.
The hypothesis in this work is that the typical generator-gear solution in the wind power plant can
be replaced by a low-speed PM synchronous generator.
This thesis deals with the electromagnetic design and the optimisation of two types of lowspeed
generators for gearless wind turbines. The generators designed are radial-flux permanentmagnet
synchronous machines excited by NdFeB magnets. The machines have different kinds of
stator windings. The first machine has a conventional three-phase, diamond winding. The second
machine has a three-phase, unconventional single-coil winding consisting of coils which are placed
in slots around every second tooth. The electromagnetic optimisation of the machine is done by the
finite element method and by a genetic algorithm combined with the finite element method. The
rated powers of the machines optimised are 500 kW, 10 kW and 5.5 kW. Two prototype machines
were built and tested.
The optimisation of the machines shows that the cost of active materials is smaller and the pullout
torque per the cost of active materials higher in the conventional machines than in the singlecoil
winding machines. The torque ripple can be reduced to a low level by choosing a suitable
magnet and stator slot shape in both the designs. The demagnetisation of permanent magnets is
easier to avoid in the single-coil winding machines than in the conventional designs. The
investigation of various rotor designs shows that the rotor equipped with curved surface-mounted
magnets has various advantages compared with the other rotor designs, for instance pole shoe
versions. The analysis of the machines also shows that the load capacity of the machine is lower in
a diode rectifier load than that when connected directly to a sinusoidal grid.
According to the analysis, a typical generator-gear solution of the wind power plant can be
replaced by a multipole radial-flux PM synchronous machine. The conventional diamond winding
machine is a better choice for the design of a directly driven wind turbine generator but the singlecoil
winding machine is also suitable because of its simplicity. |
