Growing global requirements for higher power plant performance are shaping the design and manufacture of today’s generators. Industry demands for higher reliability, efficiency and cost-effective ...

Historically, generator inspections require rotor removal (Figure 1). There’s a significant level of risk during this process due to possible generator damage during the disassembly, and it also ...

What is wind power density? The different types of generators used in wind-turbine systems. What architecture is most commonly used in high-power wind-energy-conversion systems (WECS)? Fundamental ...

Download this article in PDF format. Wind turbines larger than 6 MW are becoming common, particularly for offshore installations, where consolidating several smaller wind turbines into one large ...

The quest for energy efficient electric motors has generated a lot of interesting ideas. One of the latest is said to push the efficiency of induction motors to better than super-premium levels by ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...

This white paper discusses a study by Johan Ihsan Mahmood about stator coupling model analysis. The study aim to optimize the design of stator coupling in order to increase its natural frequency ...

If you continually forget to charge your backup batteries to help keep your mobile devices and wearables charged during the day whilst away from the grid. You might be interested in a new portable ...
