This paper presents mass and efficiency estimations for wind turbine drive-train components. Data from literature and commercial catalogues are collected to obtain trend lines for each component. Different gearbox and generator types are investigated as well as the bearing and the low-speed shaft. An open-source tool is presented to compare different power take-off options in terms of weight and efficiency. The datasets and the user interface made available as an open source tool and can be accessed at GitHub.

A Rare-Earth Free Magnetically Geared Generator for Direct-Drive Wind Turbines Zeinali, Reza; Keysan, Ozan (MDPI AG, 2019-02-01) A novel Vernier type magnetically geared direct-drive generator for large wind turbines is introduced in this paper. Conventional Vernier-type machines and most of the direct-drive wind turbine generators use excessive amount of permanent magnet, which increases the overall cost and makes the manufacturing process challenging. In this paper, an electrically excited (PM_less) claw-pole type Vernier machine is presented. This new topology has the potential of reducing mass and cost of the generator, and can m...
A Transverse Flux High Temperature Superconducting Generator Topology for Large Direct Drive Wind Turbines Keysan, Ozan (2012-01-01) The cost and mass of an offshore wind turbine power-train can be reduced by using high-temperature superconducting generators, but for a successful commercial design the superconducting generator should be as reliable as its alternatives. In this paper, we present a novel transverse flux superconducting generator topology which is suitable for low-speed, high-torque applications. The generator is designed with a stationary superconducting field winding and a variable reluctance claw pole motor for simplifie...
New strategy for optimization of output power of a DFIG wind turbine Abedinzadeh, Taller; Ehsan, Mehdi; Afsharirad, Hadi; Nazaraliloo, Mohammad (2011-09-10) This paper presents a method to maximize the output power of a DFIG wind turbine. In this method, an optimization technique based on mathematical analysis has been used. The modeling of DFIG is performed using MATLAB.
An Electromagnetic Micro Power Generator for Low-Frequency Environmental Vibrations Based on the Frequency Upconversion Technique Sari, Ibrahim; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Külah, Haluk (2010-02-01) This paper presents a microelectromechanical-system-based electromagnetic vibration-to-electrical power generator that can harvest energy from low-frequency external vibrations. The efficiency of vibration-based harvesters is proportional to excitation frequency, so the proposed generator is designed to convert low-frequency environmental vibrations to a higher frequency by employing the frequency upconversion (FupC) technique. It has been shown that the generator can effectively harvest energy from environ...
A Hardware in the loop simulator development for wind energy conversion systems Pourkeivannour, Siamak; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this thesis a wind turbine emulator is developed to replicate the mechanical and electrical behavior of a real wind energy conversion system. A scaling down algorithm is developed to scale down the mechanical behavior of a real wind energy conversion system to a laboratory scale wind turbine emulator. A user interface software is developed to be used as a supervisory control and data acquisition system for the wind turbine emulator in LABVIEW environment. The accuracy of the scaling down algorithm is ver...
