Electrical Generator Design for the Mocean Wave Energy Converter

项目计划的详细信息，包括关键里程碑：* 对波浪能转换器及其动力输出系统、直接驱动发电机、磁耦合系统（磁齿轮和磁离合器）、低速电机类型（游标混合、通量切换、通量反转、横向通量电机）的初步研究。为案例研究Mocean设备评估和选择直接驱动动力输出选项。*开发集成发电机和波浪能转换器的模型 * 针对一系列海况优化功率输出 * 执行详细的机械设计，并评估该项目涉及与一家开发浮动波浪能转换器的公司合作。它集中在这个新的和具有挑战性的海洋环境中的发电机的设计。与大多数工业部门中的电机相比，波浪能转换器振荡缓慢。将这种运动转化为电力需要开发新的发电机，其中很少有在海洋环境中演示过的。该项目将开发和测试用于波能转换器的发电机，包括电磁设计、防腐蚀和集成到真实的设备中。

Details of Project Plan including key milestones:* Initial research into Wave energy converters and their power take off systems, direct drive electrical generators, magnetic coupling systems (magnetic gearing and magnetic clutch), slow speed electrical machine typologies (Vernier hybrid, flux switching, flux reversal, transverse flux machines).* Appraisal and selection of a direct drive power take off options for a case study Mocean device.* Develop model of integrated generator and wave energy converter* Optimise the power take off for a range of sea states* Perform detailed mechanical design, and assess This project involves working with a company developing a floating wave energy converter. It centers on the design of the electrical generator in this new and challenging marine environment. Compared to electrical machines found in most industrial sectors, wave energy converters oscillate slowly. Converting this motion into electricity requires development of novel generators, very few of which have been demonstrated in the marine environment. This project will develop and test electrical generators for use in wave energy converters, including electromagnetic design, protection against corrosion and integration into real devices.
