Design of a low-speed electrical generator with automatic load shedding and powered by non-conventional energy sources

Abstract

The world energy sector sees the need to take advantage of natural resources as alternative energy sources, given their great potential and their inexhaustible nature, which is why the generation of electricity from sources such as solar radiation, winds, tides, etc. is suggested. This research shows the results of the design and construction of the prototype of a low-speed electric generator to be incorporated into an electric generation system, powered by non-conventional sources of energy such as wind power. Work was done on the design of the rotor and stator of the electric generator, the redistribution of the permanent magnets and electronic components were added to improve its efficiency. It is assumed that the objectives will be met when the new generator is connected to a 110 cm long wind turbine with blades and voltages are generated that allow the storage of electrical energy in conventional batteries.
