How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper proposes an improved hybrid wind power plant which is more efficient than the classical ones. The proposed hybrid wind turbine was improved by replacing the wind turbine blades with magnetic blades. Apart from the magnetic blades, an induction coil is placed in the back of the blade. There is an air gap with a small distance between the magnetic blades and the placed coil. It is indicated that when the magnetic blades rotate, an induction current is generated on the coil. Interestingly, this creates a magnetic levitation effect that enters the stator cavity under the pressure of the wind flow. Thus, the magnetic flux penetrated into the stator space reduces the friction of the rotor. The resulting additional electrical energy in the form of an induction current increases the efficiency of the wind turbine. Further, it is argued that if solar panels are attached to the wind turbine masts, it will be possible to obtain an additional direct current. Along with this, the management of such a distributed energy generation system can be optimized by accumulating electrical energy on batteries. Thus, an important engineering task associated with increasing the long-term operation of wind turbines and effectively using the kinetic energy of the wind flow at the wind turbine.
