Paper title: HEAT TRANSFER ANALYSIS OF AN AXIAL FLUX SYNCHRONOUS WIND GENERATOR USING 3D FINITE ELEMENT MODELS
Author(s): OVIDIU CRAIU, TIBERIU TUDORACHE,
Abstract: This paper presents some practical aspects regarding heat transfer analysis inside a permanent magnet synchronous machine
used in wind conversion systems. Two steady state models were developed using COMSOL Multiphysics software package and
compared. The influence of the heat conductivities of component materials and conduction coefficients upon the final results was
analyzed. A transient 3D model was developed to study special cases when the generator operates at high intermittent currents
(e.g. during harsh winds) and how that influences the heat transfer and temperature distribution inside machine.
