Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The wind power generation industry is experiencing rapid growth worldwide. With many countries, including the United States and Europe, expanding their investments in the renewable energy sector, the momentum of growth in the wind power generation industry is expected to accelerate even further. One of the biggest challenges facing the wind energy sector is the need to reduce the cost of energy. In addressing this issue, the development of large wind turbines has become a subject of great interest for the wind industry. Increasing the capacity of a single turbine enhances the energy density, improves the efficiency of the wind farm, and lowers the cost of support structures. However, without detailed design or operational experience, the impact of high current and flux densities on a generator cannot be fully understood. Performance evaluation can test the structural stability and magnetic field effects of the generator against magnetic fields and electromagnetic forces before integrating the generator into a wind power generation system.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to performance evaluation for wind power generators.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Design and simulation techniques for wind power generators;
  • Electromagnetic performance evaluation of generators;
  • Mechanical performance evaluation of generators;
  • Thermal performance evaluation of generators;
  • Optimal design methodologies for wind power generators;
  • Advanced evaluation methodologies for wind power generators;
  • Grid integration studies for wind power generators;
  • Reliability and maintenance for wind power generators;
  • Artificial intelligence and machine learning studies for evaluating the performance of wind power generators;
  • Digital twin for wind power generators;
  • Output power forecasting for wind power generators.

A performance evaluation system (PES) can experimentally test the structural stability and magnetic field effects of HTS coils against high magnetic fields and electromagnetic forces before mounting the HTS coils on a large-capacity rotating machine. This paper deals with the characteristic analysis of electromagnetic force in an HTS field coil for a 10 MW Class HTS Wind Power Generator using PES. Based on the designed 10 MW class HTS wind power generator, the HTS coils are manufactured and installed in the PES by a support structure, which is designed considering the electromagnetic force (torque) and heat loads in the HTS coil. To check the stress and deformation in the support structure caused by the electromagnetic force generated from the coil, strain gauge sensors were attached to the support structure and measured under full-load conditions. As a result, the maximum magnetic field and electromagnetic force are 2.8 T and 71 kN, respectively. Compared to the analysis results, the magnetic field and generated electromagnetic force in the HTS coil were the same under no-load and full-load conditions. These results will be effectively used to study and fabricate high magnetic field coils for HTS applications, as well as the PES being fabricated. Full article
