The main objective of this dissertation is to contribute knowledge toward the design of small PM wind generators, which includes the application of soft magnetic composite (SMC) materials to the desing of these machines. A problem is first addressed of adapting a PM wind generator, intended for high-speed operation with a small 3-bladed wind turbine, for low speed operation with a new multi-blade, high solidity turbine. An analytical model is formulated and then used to examine the effect of several changes to the design of the wind generator. A new specification of the redesigned machine is then set. The overall performance of the redesigned machine coupled to the new turbine is shown to be satisfactory. 2014-07-31T10:55:26Z 2014-07-31T10:55:26Z 2006 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5194 eng application/pdf Department of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
