turbine are based on a blade-element-momentum (BEM)
theory code [15]. The power and torque curves are used for
further analyses of the active speed stall control concepts.
B. Generator modeling
‘The generator characteristics and cost model are deseribed
in Table 2. Fig, 6 gives a cross section of four pole pitches of
the DDPM generator.
The size of generator is related to the torque, which is a
function of the force density of generator. The power and
torque produced by the generator can be written as

To is the generator torque,

Fy is the air gap force density (the force per square
metre of active air gap surface area)
The force density does not vary a lot with the size of the
machine. Therefore, these equations can be used to obtain a
fast estimate of the machine dimensions.
