| Abstract |
In direct-drive wind turbines, the generator outer diameter and
cost must be reduced substantially to allow a higher penetration
of direct-drive wind-turbines on the market. In this paper,
different generator topologies are investigated. A comparison is
carried out, on the basis of 60 different machine prototypes built
or designed by numerous authors. Data for those machines is
found in the scientific literature. The comparison is based on
torque density and cost/torque. Only the machines active
material is considered. |
