# GeneratorSE

GeneratorSE is a set of numerical tools for sizing three technologies of variable speed wind turbine generators:

* Direct-drive interior permanent magnet synchronous generators (DD-IPM)

* Geared medium-speed interior permanent magnet synchronous generators (MS-IPM)

* Direct-drive low temperature superconducting generators (LTS)

This repository contains the codes based on the open-source library pyFEMM. The purely analytical tools to size PMSG machines have instead been integrated within [WISDEM](https://github.com/wisdem/wisdem)

The codes adopt the optimization library [OpenMDAO](https://openmdao.org) and mainly considers available torque, mechanical power, normal and shear stresses, material properties, and costs to optimize designs by satisfying specific design criteria.

## Documentation

The WISDEM team is working on a relevant publication. The link to it will be provided here.

## Installation

To run the code, follow these steps

1. Download and install pyfemm from https://www.femm.info/wiki/pyFEMM

2. In an anaconda environment, type 

        pip install pyfemm

        conda install openmdao

3. In your preferred folder, clone and compile the repository

		git clone [email protected]:WISDEM/GeneratorSE.git # or git clone https://github.com/WISDEM/GeneratorSE.git

		pip install -e .
