Structural analysis of low speed, high torque electrical generators for direct drive renewable energy converters

Direct drive renewable energy converters provide a low speed, high torque input to the electrical generator. As a result these generators must be larger than their high speed counterparts. Because of this size and the large airgap-closing force, the structural design must be stiff and robust. This t...
