Modeling and Finite Element Validation of a Wind Turbine with a Direct Drive Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator

In this paper, the analytical modeling of a wind turbine conversion chain is carried out according to multi-physical disciplines of the system. The chain represents a 3 bladed horizontal axis wind turbine coupled directly to a permanent magnet synchronous generator PMSG delivering power in a battery through diode rectifier. For the considered chain, four models are developed. Mechanical model describes the power generation from kinetic movement of the wind to its transmission to the generator ...
