Abstract

The increasing demand for renewable energy sources has sparked significant interest in innovative technologies that can enhance energy conversion efficiency. Among these, wind energy stands out as a viable alternative, with magnetic gears emerging as a promising solution to improve the overall performance of wind turbine systems. Traditional mechanical gearing systems often suffer from wear and inefficiency, leading to increased maintenance costs and reduced operational lifespan. In contrast, magnetic gears employ attractive and repulsive forces to transmit power without physical contact, minimising friction and mechanical degradation. This research will delve into the experimental investigation of magnetic gears tailored for a multirotor wind turbine applications, exploring their potential benefits, underlying principles, and comparative advantages over conventional gear systems. Furthermore, the findings aim to underscore the feasibility of integrating magnetic gearing technology into modern wind turbines, ultimately contributing to the advancement of sustainable energy solutions.
