Publication number: 20250088129Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling an electrical generator of a wind turbine, the generator having a rotor and a stator, and the stator being controlled by a stator current. The stator current has a main component being characterized by a fundamental signal with a fundamental frequency and a fundamental phase angle, and a fractional harmonic current component being characterized by a fractional harmonic signal having a fractional harmonic frequency and a fractional harmonic phase angle. The method includes providing a compensation current having a compensation amplitude and a compensation phase angle, and determining the compensation phase angle depending on an absolute rotational position of the rotor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Applicant: Wobben Properties GmbHInventors: Andre Heinz Pubanz, Ewout Lagerweij, Robert Rutteman

Patent number: 8384233Abstract: Direct driven wind turbine includes a tower, a nacelle, a rotor blade, a radial flux generator with a stator and a rotor, wherein the lamination package of the generator is essential for the transfer of the torque in axial direction. By introducing this additional function to the lamination package, the generator can be provided without additional torque transferring housing. Preferably, the lamination package obtains this additional function by pressing together the laminations between the front plate and end plate by tensile bolts. This gives sufficient strength to transport the torque in axial direction through the laminations to the mounting points of the generator. Preferably, the laminations include cooling fins. Due to these measures the cooling of the generator improves and active cooling may become superfluous or the power can be increased. The housing of the laminations is an expensive, heavy and labor intensive part which is no longer required due to the invention.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2010Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Lagerwey Wind B.V.Inventors: Hendrik Lambertus Lagerweij, Andre Heinz Pubanz, Aart Van Der Pol, Albert Waaijenberg
