Comparative Assessment of a Horizontal Small Wind Turbine with Ball and Magnetic Bearings on the Starting
This article describes a mathematical model of a horizontal wind turbine of 500 W with a NACA 2418 airfoil type during the start-up condition for two proposed systems.The first one considers a wind turbine system where the friction moment is given by ball bearings.The second one proposes the replacement of the ball bearings by magnetic bearings cal
