A generating wind scheme for maximum energy capture and minimum cost

El-Khazendar, M.A.; Ahmed, M.M. - In: Renewable Energy 5 (1994) 1, pp. 709-711

This paper proposes a cheap, maintenance-free generator suitable for maximum wind energy capture. It can be designed for low speed applications, where it could be rigidly coupled to a Sandia-17-m Darrieus wind turbine without the need of a gearbox. The generator is operated at varying shaft...
