Popis: [Introduction] With the development of wind power generation technology, the unit capacity of permanent magnet wind generator is increasing, and the heating power is also increasing. The heat dissipation of generator is facing unprecedented challenges. How to effectively solve the problem of generator temperature rise and heat dissipation difficulty has been the focus of our study. [Method] Based on the STAR-CCM+ software platform, an integrated numerical simulation method for generator heat dissipation and cooling was proposed in this paper. The reliability of the numerical calculation method was verified by comparing the calculated values with the experimental values. On this basis, a study was conducted on the internal temperature distribution law and the factors influencing the cooling system heat dissipation performance of the high power permanent magnet wind generator. [Result] Under the rated power, the highest temperature of the winding and stator core appear in the middle area. If the process conditions allow, the cooling water pipe should be as close to the winding as possible to take away more heat. The stator core temperature and winding temperature can be reduced significantly by increasing the total intake air volume of the generator. The intake air temperature has a linear relationship with the maximum temperature of the winding and stator core. For every 5℃ decrease in the intake air temperature, the maximum temperature will be reduced by about 1.4℃. Reducing the intake air temperature can improve the heat dissipation performance of the generator to a certain extent. The intake water temperature has a linear relationship with the maximum temperature of the winding and stator core. For every 5℃ decrease in the intake water temperature, the maximum temperature will be reduced by about 3.3℃. Reducing the intake water temperature can greatly improve the heat dissipation performance of the generator. In addition, the gap between the cooling water pipe and the stator core greatly hinders the heat transfer of the cooling water pipe. Filling the gap with materials with good thermal conductivity can effectively improve the heat dissipation performance of the generator. [Conclusion] The conclusions drawn in this paper can effectively guide the heat dissipation design of permanent magnet wind generator and ensure the safe operation of wind turbines in normal work.
