Comparative Study of Linear Permanent Magnet Generator with Different Shape of Permanent Magnet for Wave Energy Conversion

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the design of linear permanent magnet generator for wave energy conversion using finite element analysis software. Four designs have been proposed which are simple, lightweight, portable and can produce 100 Watt electric power. Air-cored linear permanent magnet generator have been chosen and their electromagnetic characteristic were analyzed using finite element analysis. The determined electromagnetic analysis reveals that rectangular permanent magnet arrangement (Rect-PM) design gives efficient performance as compared to other designs.
