摘要：Magnetic levitation is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magneticfields. Magnetic pressure is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational and any other accelerations. The principaladvantage of a maglev windmill from a conventional one is, as the rotor is floating in the air due to levitation,mechanical friction is totally eliminated. That makes the rotation possible in very low wind speeds, which is the newdirection to improve the performance of wind turbines. In this project work, magnetically levitated (maglev) windturbines are designed and developed. It is the self-starting turbine.3D Designing is done using Solidworks 2015software and Finite Element Analysis is used to study effect of air flow on the Turbine blade using ANSYS FLUENT.The choice for this model is to showcase its efficiency in varying wind conditions as compared to the traditionalhorizontal axis wind turbine and contribute to its steady growing popularity for the purpose of mass utilization in thenear future as a reliable source of power generation. Power will then be generated with an axial flux generator, whichincorporates the use of permanent magnets and a set of coils. Inverter circuit is used to convert DC voltage to ACvoltage by rectifying it. Vertical axis wind turbines offer promising solution for smaller ruler areas or medium sizedresidential spaces.
