Optimizing Linear Generator Design’S Parameters For Output Power Using Mix Numerical And Analytical Technique

Permanent magnet linear devices have wide applications in various fields. In the field of wave energy conversion, the use of linear generator has earlier been regarded as difficult and uneconomical due to technical problems. Researches on wave energy converters have been carried out, but the conversion efficiency is still limited. Studies of the magnetic field of a linear generator have shown the ability to significantly improve performance when using the Halbach array magnets structure. In this study, a mixed numerical and analytical technique is presented to optimize linear generator design's parameters for wave energy converter power performance. At first, numerical method used for maximize of magnetic field's strength inside linear generator. Then, a matlab-simulink program use the simulated magnetic field result to optimize the power of the linear generator.
