In recent years linear generators have been proposed in several marine applications as a well-suited technology for power generation such as power buoys. Those kinds of buoys could be used as large-scale devices in power plants and as small-size devices in electronic supply as well. In this work a three phase tubular permanent magnet linear generator is analyzed to supply electronic devices such as sensorial buoys with energy scavenging. A soft-computing algorithm based on a finite element method has been developed and a parametric approach is presented in order to provide a first optimization for electronic applications. Numerical results have been reported and discussed in detail.

Abstract
In recent years linear generators have been proposed in several marine applications as a well-suited technology for power generation such as power buoys. Those kinds of buoys could be used as large-scale devices in power plants and as small-size devices in electronic supply as well. In this work a three phase tubular permanent magnet linear generator is analyzed to supply electronic devices such as sensorial buoys with energy scavenging. A soft-computing algorithm based on a finite element method has been developed and a parametric approach is presented in order to provide a first optimization for electronic applications. Numerical results have been reported and discussed in detail.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
