Abstract :
This paper presents a transverse flux permanent magnet (TFPM) linear generator for the free-piston generation application, which not only possessing the merits of the existing TFPM machine, but also providing a simple structure which is essential for power generation with maintenance-free operation. Also, the machine configuration is optimized such that the induced voltage is maximized while the cogging force is minimized. Hence, a 2-phase linear TFPM is resulted, which is well supported by performance analysis.
