Abstract

To address challenges associated with traditional rotor permanent magnet synchronous generators, such as rotor heat dissipation difficulties, permanent magnet detachment under wide-range operation, low reliability of induction generators, and adverse effects of external generators on reciprocating airflow, a high-reliability stator permanent magnet flux-switching generator with an outer rotor structure is proposed for oscillating water column wave energy conversion systems. After determining the structural parameters of generators, the finite element method is employed for optimal design and electromagnetic performance analysis. A prototype is developed and tested, with the test results validating the accuracy of the electromagnetic analysis.

Key words
