Fluid flow and heat transfer of a novel passive cooling system for
Aim of this work was the development of a passive cooling system for gearless wind energy generators with capacity of 3–12 MW. The novel design of the nacelle shown in Fig. 1
Air-cooling has served small-scale wind turbines well over the years, but has proven impractical when trying to remove the heat produced in a Megawatt-scale system. The thermal capacity of air being so low simply makes it difficult to blow enough air across a motor or through the converter to maintain reliable operating temperatures.
To address the unique challenges of cooling high-power electronics in wind turbines, Parker Hannifin (Precision Cooling Systems) has developed a compelling alternative.
GE Renewable Energy's Haliade-X, one of the most powerful wind turbines in the world, is cooled by a Heatex custom-made closed-loop cooling system. Read Case Study CSIC HZ Windpower's 10MW H210-10.0 turbine is now in full serial production and operating outside the coast of Shandong in China. Read Case Study
While the technical data shown in Figure 3 was focused on the power conversion electronics that would be used in a typical wind turbine converter, the same thermal benefits are achieved when comparing evaporative cooling for liquid cooled generators and transformers.
Aim of this work was the development of a passive cooling system for gearless wind energy generators with capacity of 3–12 MW. The novel design of the nacelle shown in Fig. 1
