“…Koch et al [22] studied the use of the soft magnetic compounds (SMC) and composite plastic to reinforce the steel shaft for the lightweight design and manufacturing of high performance electrical motors. Jean-Sola et al [23] investigated the opportunities for lightweighting, using the composite materials with different fibre orientation patterns instead of steel for wind turbine generators.…”

A Manufacturing Driven Design Methodology to Lightweighting of the Structural Elements of a Permanent Magnet Electrical Machine Rotor

et al. 2022

It is common practice for electrical machines to be designed with a focus predominantly on the electromagnetic performance. The mechanical design is then subsequently undertaken to meet various mechanical performance criteria, with this finalised design then passed on for manufacture. In many cases, the manufacturing constraints have not been taken fully into consideration during the electromagnetic or more particularly the mechanical design and hence some changes are required to the design to make it manufacturable. This in turn can lead to a non-optimal machine being manufactured. If manufacturing constraints and opportunities are regarded as key quantitative inputs to the design process, not only can these post-design changes be minimised, but benefits of the manufacturing process can be exploited to produce a superior product. This paper proposes a methodology to fully integrate the mechanical design and manufacturing process routes into electrical machine design and illustrates its utility within the context of light-weighting of a permanent magnet rotor for an aerospace electrical machine. Within the proposed methodology, several alternative configurations of the rotor are considered with applicable manufacturing routes identified at the initial stages of design and an analytical design procedure to fulfil the application and performance criteria is developed. Different manufacturing materials and constraints as well as the impact of manufacturing process are identified to be embedded into the design procedures. Finally, the paper demonstrates an application of this methodology together with a discussion of the features which offer promise in achieving economically lighter weight design through integration of manufacturing into the design procedure.

“…Uniform wind has yields of around 20–30% efficiency in modern day turbines, and more and more wind farms are being set up, increasing the global wind power capacity annually. The year 2012 marks a landmark with the global wind capacity clocking in at almost 300 GW worldwide, which balanced the cost of wind power to be $0.06/kWh, and is less than one-third the cost of electricity in the 1980s [ 27 ].…”

Currently, about 22% of global electricity is being supplemented by different renewable sources. Wind energy is one of the most abundant forms of renewable energy available in the atmospheric environment due to different air-currents spread over the troposphere and stratosphere. The demand of modern wind energy conversion system (WECS) has increased to achieve a suitable alternate renewable energy source. In this paper, after a brief introduction, the classification of WECS is reviewed with attractive illustrations. The various mechanical materials and electrical components of WECS are discussed. The flow of power in WECS and its control strategies are also been described. The wind energy conversion is carried out with a suitable controlling mechanism for power grid integration. A maximum power-point tracking controller is an effective controlling method to extract the maximum possible power from the turbines. The present trends in WECS and the scope for improvement and future prospects are discussed. The materials used for both the blade and generator have been found to be key elements of wind turbines. Recycling of the polymer matrix composite materials are found to be a great threat to wind power plants, as well as to their supply chain industries.
