Novel generators for wind power

Dr Richard McMahon

wind turbinesOne problem with using wind power as an energy source is that the input is variable(depending on wind strength), and the conversion process currently used is not equally efficient at all speeds.We are working on developing a brushless double fed machine that will operate efficiently over the entire speed range.
