Simulation of Linear Induction Generators in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Applications

Using linear induction machines in hybrid electric vehicles has some advantages such as robustness, reliability over convectional generators that is used in this system. This paper suggests a three phase self excited linear induction generator (SELIG) for a system of free-piston generator. Linear induction machine has some configurations. A flat ladder type linear induction is used as generator in simulations. Design of the machine is carried and finite element method is used to simulate the performance of generator.
