Abstract

In this paper we present a design and analysis of an electromagnetic braking system braking system for wind turbines to control the rotational speed of high RPM shafts in extreme wind conditions. The multi-disciplinary approach to the design and analysis, incorporating both thermal and structural analysis, has allowed for a comprehensive evaluation of the system's performance and efficiency. The results of this study have demonstrated the feasibility of using eddy current braking to control the rotational speed of wind turbines and have shown that the proposed system has the potential to provide a reliable and efficient solution for sustainable energy systems. Further research is needed to validate the performance of the system under various operating conditions and wind speedsstrengthening the characteristics.
