Optimal Design for High Output Power of Transverse-Flux-Type Cylindrical Linear Synchronous Generator

Abstract

This paper presents an optimal design for achieving high output power in a transverse-flux-type cylindrical linear synchronous generator (TFC-LSM), especially for application in wave power conversion. We obtain optimal design by considering the number of salient poles in armature cores in the designated cross-sectional area. First, we describe the basic configuration of the transverseflux-type cylindrical model used for design and proceed to explain three types of models with different numbers of salient poles. Second, we describe the optimal design process based on the practical rapid optimal design approach. Finally, we analyze the results of the optimal design of TFC-LSM.Index Terms-Linear synchronous generator, optimal design, response surface methodology (RSM), transverse flux machinery, wave power conversion.

Proposal of a compact magnetically levitated transverse flux permanent magnet linear synchronous motor as a 6‐DOF transport carrier

“…This is an extremely expensive analysis and demands more efficient design procedure. Under time constraints, use of advanced design of experiment methods [12, 13] is a compromising solution to achieve parameterisation and optimisation of key design dimensions.…”

Analysis of Transverse-Flux Linear Switched-Flux Permanent Magnet Machine

“…Equation (1) demonstrates that reducing the harmonics which are the integer times of the N f th harmonic component will lower the force ripple. For this machine, if the six segments are grouped into two and the second group is moved to have the anti-phase with the first group, as shown in Figs.…”

“…In contrast, if they are perpendicular each other, it belongs to the second kind of machines, viz. transverse-flux machines [1]. The transverse-flux linear machines are widely investigated due to its merits, such as high thrust force and good fault-tolerant capability [2].…”

Design, Analysis and Fabrication of a Novel Transverse Flux Permanent Magnet Machine with Disk Rotor

“…Transverse flux permanent magnet machine (TFPMM) produces high power and high torque, which bring about less constraints of structure on electric load and magnetic load [1][2][3][4][5]. This has made TFPMM desirable for direct drive applications where a high torque is required at a low rotational speed, such as traction applications, free piston energy converter applications, wind turbines, and wave energy converters [4,6,7].…”
