Abstract

The higher specific torque and power density of a transverse flux machine (TFM) in comparison to a conventional machine makes it a promising energy converter in various applications. In this paper, a free piston energy converter and a direct-driven wind turbine are considered. The analytical investigation of the novel TFM topology applied in these two cases is presented. The cogging torque is evaluated by use of a three-dimensional finite element method. The results of simulating generators rated in the range of 3-12 MW are discussed. Manufacturing of a linear prototype is presented.
