AI-based hybrid optimisation of multi-megawatt scale permanent magnet synchronous generators for offshore wind energy capture
… Cost of Energy (LCOE) of the systems. A proven method of reducing the LCOE of wind power generation is by upscaling RF-PMSGs to the multi mega-watt (MW) range. For the much wider adoption of wind power generation, the cost of energy (price/MWh) needs to be driven down further, by the development …
