Abstract

A large proportion of offshore wind turbine designs are now based on directly driven permanent magnet synchronous generators using rare earth materials. During last few years, the price of Nd-Fe-B has increased and fluctuated significantly. The large price fluctuations encourage us to look at flux-c...
