Innovative Development of Non-Contact Torque Sensor Applied to Wind Generator

In order to solve the variable speed control as non-linear in wind energy application, it is important to obtain wind energy efficiently. And it is also effective in suppressing output fluctuation. Therefore, it will become a main torque system in the wind generation. The main object of this paper is to present a developed non-contact torque sensor for applying of non-linear control in the wind generator. In this paper, it examines whether efficient torque measurement of output shaft in the wind generation would be maintainable by non-linear control methods.
