Wind Power Generation Using Magnetic Levitation

Abstract

The phrase “Levitation” refers to a class of technologies that uses magnetic levitation to force wind turbines with magnets, which otherwise propel   with axles and bearings. Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) uses magnetic levitation to propel wind turbine for the generation of electricity. The present scenario indicates that the demand for electricity is increasing day by day and to meet it many research are going on. Electricity generation through renewable energy sources has gained attention in the last few decades due to depleting conventional energy sources and may help to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. One of the rapid growing renewable energy sources in the world is wind energy source. With the use of magnetic levitation the efficiency of the wind turbine can be increased and losses minimized. It also increases the life span of the generator. Magnetic Suspension Wind Power Generators, represent a very promising future for wind power generation.
