Abstract
As a brake system for small wind turbine, mechanical brake and electric brake by the short circuit of 3-phase permanent magnet generator are used. However, an electric braking method may damage the rotor and/or blades by rapid stop of the generator revolution. Moreover, generator winding may also be damaged by large short-circuit current. In this paper, the electric braking method using NTC thermistors (negative temperature coefficient resistors) is proposed as a braking system for a cheaper and safe micro wind turbine
