Application of magnetic levitation technologies to enhance the efficiency of wind energy systems
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2025.01.090-104
Abstract
The research area focuses on the integration of magnetic levitation (Maglev) technologies to enhance the efficiency of wind energy installations. The study examines the theoretical aspects of applying magnetic levitation, which minimizes mechanical friction, reduces wear, and increases the durability of rotor components. Experimental investigations were conducted to analyze the impact of magnetic levitation on the stability of turbine rotation under variable wind conditions, enabling a higher efficiency coefficient for the system. Key outcomes include the development of a vertical wind turbine model utilizing Maglev technologies, which demonstrates reduced operational costs, lower noise levels, and improved environmental sustainability. The intended beneficiaries of the results are renewable energy companies and urban infrastructures aiming to adopt innovative solutions to reduce their carbon footprint.
