Modern wind turbines contain a wealth of materials from high-quality construction steel and copper to rare earth elements. And the wind turbine sector uses very large quantities of a rare earth magnets made from an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron (NdFeB). These NdFeB magnets are critical components in PMSGs (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator) in larger onshore and offshore wind turbines.
Neodymium can be considered as a powerful and strong magnet in commercially available permanent magnet. Its weight is significantly low when compared to other rare earth magnets available. Moreover, it is affordable and the manufacturers can use them in their productions without any hesitation.
The need for renewable energy continues to increase. There’s a steady growth of turbines. The ongoing development in both design and performance of wind turbines has resulted in the significant development of neodymium magnets to be able to keep up with the global intense demand. With the intestines of renewable energy predicted to surge further, it is a form of power that is here to stay.
Global demand for neodymium for wind turbines is estimated to increase 48% by 2050. Rare earth elements are critical to the renewable energy future and are the main “critical metals” used in wind turbines.
In summary, neodymium is a powerful magnet available and they are invaluable in most of industries like in wind power generation.
Peacean Neodymium magnets provide efficient electricity generation. They’re used in wind-turbine designs to reduce costs, improve reliability, and lower the need for expensive maintenance.
