本文讨论了用于波能转换器的线性游标混合电机的发展。探索了许多拓扑选项以减少磁体使用并提高用作线性发电机的性能。接触极、V形和Halbach阵列设计用于目标25 kW规格。所产生的能量的总成本的讨论用于证明使用效率和功率因数来评估固定磁体质量拓扑变体是合理的。功率因数从0.38提高到0.72。被认为是物理整合的电机波能转换器，包括淹没的热行为和聚合物轴承磨损的实验结果。
This paper discusses the development of linear vernier hybrid machines for use in wave energy converters. A number of topology options are explored to reduce magnet usage and improve performance for use as a linear generator. Consequent pole, V-shape, and Halbach arrays are designed for a target 25 kW specification. A discussion of overall cost of energy produced is used to justify using efficiency and power factor to asses fixed magnet mass topology variants. A power factor improvement from 0.38 to 0.72 is presented. Physical integration of the electrical machine into wave energy converters is considered including flooded experimental results of thermal behavior and polymer bearing wear.
