Yes you can use them but would you really want to. The weight alone is a major problem.
They need much higher speed than you can reasonably get with direct drive, they are not wind or waterproof and the brushes and commutator will require constant maintenance.
The end performance will be very poor compared with modern neo magnet alternators.
You could fit magnets but still you will have a poor performing machine that weighs far more than a modern wind turbine alternator.
Years ago we tried our best to adapt unsuitable technology of the time and I wouldn't have chosen any of them then, no way would I even think about it now but the rest of the world wants to re invent the wheel rather than learn from past experience.
One thing has changed though, nobody wanted to build wind generators years ago before grid power was universally available and cheap. Candles and oil lamps were fine for my generation but they don't make the mobile phone and computer work.
