Abstract(s)
In this work, 4 structural configurations are proposed,
and analysed, to be used as a tubular linear switched
reluctance generators with tubular topology (TLSRG). For the
4 models under assessment, inductance change with the mover
part position is assessed to quantify the machine capabilities
as generator for an wave energy converter (WEC), namely a
point absorber device. This evaluation is supported by a 2D
FEM analysis based software through which are determined
the inductance values at different alignment conditions as
well as the magnetic flux densities for the referred alignment
conditions. An analytic design procedure is presented for one
structural model and the same procedure is used to size the
generator for given nominal power and based velocity, derived
from an ocean wave energy assessment based on meteorological
data.
