Various methods have been discussed to reduce detent force in a tubular permanent magnet type linear single phase AC generator. In particular, the proposed methods depend on variations of the permanent magnet construction. These methods include two approaches in the form of sloped magnets, and conical magnets in addition to the conventional method of optimizing the magnet length. The undesired detent force ripples were calculated by a two dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM). Moreover, the generated electromotive force in the stator coils was calculated for each configuration of the permanent magnet. The experimental results agreed well with those obtained from the FEM-based simulations. Sufficient reduction in the detent force was achieved over the range of 40% while the root mean square of the output voltage was maintained. It was found that sloping the permanent magnet decreased the detent force and at the same time increased the generated rms voltage of the AC generator. The performance of the designed linear AC generator was evaluated in terms of its efficiency, total weight, losses, and power to weight ratio.

본 논문은 파력 에너지 수집 장치에 사용할 수 있는 영구자석 선형 동기발전기의 특성 해석에 관한 것이다. 파력 에너지는 요요시스템과 같은 기구로 부터 얻어진다. 영구자석을 이용한 선형 발전기는 영구자석의 자력을 통해 별도의 전원공급이 필요 없고 유지 보수가 간단한 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 높은 에너지 밀도를 갖는 희토류의 사용으로 영구자석 기기는 소형화 및 경량화가 가능하며 보다 높은 에너지 변환 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 영구자석 선형 동기발전기 특성 해석을 위해 2차원 극 좌표계 및 자기 벡터 포텐셜에 근거하여 영구자석과 전기자 반작용 자계해석을 수행 하였다. 해석 해를 이용하여 정현적인 속도입력에 의해 유도되는 유기기전력의 특성 식을 유도하고, 동일한 방법으로 역기전력 상수, 저항, 자기인덕턴스와 상호인덕턴스와 같은 전기적 파라미터를 얻었다. 본 논문에서 사용한 공간고조파법의 결과는 2차원 유한요소해석법 결과와 비교하여 잘 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 영구자석 형 선형 발전기의 특성을 이해하는 것과 해석방법의 비교연구, 설계 최적화, 그리고 기기의 동적 모델링에 기여할 수 있다.

This paper deals with eddy current loss analysis of Slotless Double sided Cored type permanent magnet linear generator by using analytical method, space harmonic method. In order to calculate eddy current, this paper derives analytical solution by the Maxwell equation, magnetic vector potential, Faraday's law and a two-dimensional(2-D) cartesian coordinate system. First, we derived the armature reaction field distribution produced by armature wingding current. Second, by using derived armature reaction field solution, the analytical solution for eddy current density distribution are also obtained. Finally, the analytical solution for eddy current loss induced in permanent magnets(PMs) are derived by using equivalent, electrical resistance calculated from PMs volume and eddy current density distribution solution. The analytical result from space harmonic method are validated extensively by comparing with finite element method(FEM).

To use vibration energy to generate electricity, a resonance vertical linear electric generator was applied to the suspension of a vehicle in a previous paper. However, the working conditions, including mass change in the vehicle body related to the cargo on board, number of passengers and the temperature difference caused by the operating environment, can influence the permanent magnet, which is the main component of the electric generator. Therefore, a robust optimum design is required to minimize the influences from the diverse operation conditions and maximize the electromotive force of the electric generator. In this paper, a resonance linear electric generator is introduced. Vibration response analysis to find the input velocity of the electric generator and an electromagnetic transient analysis to apply changes in the performance of the permanent magnet are performed. Finally, the optimum value of each design variable is derived using a Taguchi method.

본 논문은 파력에너지 변환용 양측식 슬롯티드 타입 선형 발전기의 디텐트력 저감을 위한 방법을 제시하였다. 양측식 선형 발전기는 비교적 큰 공극을 갖는다. 그렇기 때문에 일반적으로 선형기는 슬롯 구조를 갖는다. 이때의 디텐트력은 선형 발전기의 치/슬롯과 영구자석 사이에 발생하는 힘으로 불필요한 에너지원으로 작용한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 슬롯구조를 갖는 선형 기기의 디텐트력을 줄이기 위한 세가지 방법인 보조치, 노치적용을 제시하고 유한요소해석법을 이용하여 본 연구의 타당성을 입증하였다.

This paper presents a high efficient generator with PM(Permanent Magnet) exciter. The proposed PM exciter for the generator can produce a linear output voltage according to the engine speed. This output voltage is directly used to control the field current of the generator to adjust the generator output voltage. In the proposed generator system, since the field winding current can be supplied by the PM exciter, the generator can self-start without any battery or an external power supply due to the low residential flux. Furthermore, the operating efficiency of the generator is higher than a conventional winding exciter. The main problem of the proposed generator system, the field winding current controller has to be embedded inside the generator, and it rotates according to the generator shaft. In this paper, the proper embedded current controller is designed for the proposed generator system. Due to the embedded controller cannot be connected to the outside the generator controller, the measured instantaneous output voltage of the generator is transferred by the photo isolated communication using shaft aligned infrared transmitter and receiver to keep the constant generator output voltage. In this paper, 10kW, 380V engine generator with PM exciter and the embedded DAVR(Digital Automatic Voltage Regulator) are described. The proposed high efficiency generator is simulated and tested to verify the effectiveness.

this paper provides a novel method to start the linear engine coupled linear generator from dead stop to its final steady state operation. This method depends mainly to use the linear generator mounted on the shaft of the linear engine to provide the required thrust force to move and oscillate the linear engine from bottom to top dead centers. It is a cost effective approach to start the internal linear combustion engine using its coupled tubular permanent magnet linear generator proposed here. This linear generator operates in this case in motoring mode, providing the required thrust force by feeding this linear generator phases with currents by using a three phase PWM inverter controlled by position feedback scheme. In order to provide the desired thrust force with specific value and direction, a position feedback is required to control the free piston engine motion through controlling the inverter switches using PWM control scheme.
