After a near 50 year lifespan, Barron Gorge’s hydro generator insulation systems needed to be rewound and upgraded. The Queensland, Australia based power station has been operating in a World Heritage ...

Louisville, CO, October 7, 2013 — Boulder Wind Power (BWP) announced today that the latest test results of its patented printed circuit board (PCB) stator technology prove a clear advantage in ...

Thermal efficiency, defined as the motor's power output for a given temperature rise, is an important factor in brushless motor performance. A more thermally efficient motor not only wastes less input ...

Download this article in PDF format. Wind turbines larger than 6 MW are becoming common, particularly for offshore installations, where consolidating several smaller wind turbines into one large ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...

Opera software for motor and generator design lets users define complex behaviors such as friction, load, and speed-dependent torques. April 24, 2008 Multiphysics capabilities show the effects of ...

Engineering efforts to simulate radial-flux machines concentrate on inherently 2D problems. Most of the 2D FEA software is good for "quick-and-easy" solutions demanded by shorter design schedules.

Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis (MD&A) has completed another successful generator rewind as part of life extensions programs on a gas turbine fleet in the northwest US. This project featured a unique ...
