The Vernier permanent magnet (PM) machine is emerging as a game-changer in wind power. Unlike
conventional turbines with bulky gearboxes Vernier PM machines utilize a unique magnet
arrangement to generate high torque directly eliminating the need for gears. This translates
to several advantages:-Reduced complexity and maintenance: No gearboxes mean fewer parts to
break down leading to lower maintenance costs and improved system reliability.-Increased
efficiency: Gearboxes cause energy loss during conversion. Vernier PM machines minimize this
loss boosting overall wind energy capture.-Larger more powerful turbines: Vernier technology
allows for the construction of larger generators ideal for harnessing wind in low-wind
regions.However challenges remain. Designing these machines requires intricate magnetic field
analysis and potentially more complex manufacturing processes.Despite these hurdles research
and development are actively pushing Vernier PM technology forward. With continued advancements
we can expect it to play a vital role in the future of wind power enabling the creation of
more efficient cost-effective and powerful wind turbines
