Abstract

This paper presents a tubular permanent magnet (PM) linear generator (TPMLG) with one single stator and double translators for complementary energy generation platform. Moreover, groups of Halbach PM magnetized structure for double translators is applied to increase the radial air gap flux density and to decrease the axial air gap flux density in the TPMLG. Based on the linear generator model and finite element method (FEM), the radial air gap flux density and axial air gap flux density in the two translator of the TPMLG is calculated and analyzed comparatively. Magnet field distribution of the TPMLG with groups of Halbach PM magnetized structure is illustrated, no-load performance at constant velocity and at sine velocity is analyzed, respectively, and comparing with the radial magnetization PM, the detent force is analyzed contrastively. Finally, this study proposed an experiment system consisting of a TPMLG with a single translator, a cylindrical float and wave flume to verify the analysis results. Through comparative analyses, the proposed TPMLG with double translators and groups of Halbach PM magnetized structure fulfill the requirements of complementary energy generation platform systems.
