Abstract:
This paper proposes different electromagnetic
field configurations for Bladeless Wind Turbines. Unlike the
rotatory wind turbines, bladeless wind turbines depend on
vibration to generate electrical power. The eXisting bladeless wind turbines use permanent magnets in the electromechanical system used for converting vibration into
electrical power. The use of permanent magnets not only
makes the system costly but also limits the flexibility of
changing the field magnitude and direction. In this paper,
an electromagnetic field arrangement suitable for bladeless
wind turbines is proposed. Various field coil configurations
are presented and analysed using ANSYS®Maxwel The
results are compared and the best possible field coil configuration is proposed.
