Abstract

The construction and thermal analysis of the 2 KW generator designed for a small wind power station with vertical axis of rotation was presented in this article. The analysis is required in order to determine temperature distribution inside the machine to avoid magnets demagnetization and insulation damage. The presented thermal analysis of synchronous generator prototype was made using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Ansys Fluent analysis. In order to determine losses at the machine components Ansys Maxwell system was used. The analysis was made for three variants of the air flow speed around the generator frame. The lowest speed corresponds to the conditions of air flow during the study at the test stand, while higher speeds simulate the normal generator operation.
