[0002] In the field of wind power generation, the generator, as a core component, directly affects power generation efficiency and stability. During generator operation, a large amount of heat is generated due to factors such as electromagnetic induction and mechanical friction. If heat cannot be dissipated effectively and in a timely manner, the generator temperature will rise, leading to a series of problems. For example, excessively high temperatures will accelerate the aging of the generator's internal insulation materials, reduce insulation performance, and increase the risk of faults such as short circuits and leakage. It will also affect the mechanical properties of the generator's internal components, causing deformation and accelerated wear, shortening the generator's service life. In severe cases, it may even cause safety accidents such as fires, resulting in huge economic losses and safety hazards to the wind power generation system.
