Abstract

This paper deals with the three-dimensional static and dynamic finite element analysis of a transverse flux generator at no-load conditions used in offshore wind turbines. Two transverse flux topologies, namely the basic topology and that utilizing iron bridges are analyzed. The parametric study with respect to the flux linkage and pole-to-pole flux leakage is conducted for various combinations of dimensions in static finite element analysis. The magnitudes and waveforms of the flux linkage and the induced emf obtained in the dynamic finite element simulations are compared with the analytical and static simulation results.
