Abstract

The paper focuses of the Transverse Flux Permanent (TFPM) Generator as a solution for offshore direct drive wind turbines. A complex design algorithm is presented. Two topologies (U core and C core) of TFPM were considered. The analytical design is optimised using a combination of genetic algorithms and three dimensional finite element (FEM) analyses to obtain a minimum active mass for the generator.
