The evolution, design and test results of a novel permanent magnet generator for use in direct‐drive wind turbines are presented. This generator topology is based on steel C‐core modules (which make up the rotor) and an air‐cored stator winding. This topology allows a reduction in structural mass for large diameter generators, which can lead to lightweight generators.
