Abstract:

This paper presents the design modeling and analysis of linear permanent magnet generator for wave energy conversion using finite element method. The time-stepping finite element technique is used to determine electromagnetic characteristics and analyze the efficiency. The main parts such as; copper loss is analyzed on the different variation of winding input excitation and the core loss is determined based on various specific loss curves data in order to analyze its effect on frequency. The influence of main dimension of stator is analyzed on electromagnetic characteristic and copper loss.
