Wave energy is one of the most attractive forms of renewable energy. The reasons include
its promising availability, predictability, persistence, and power density. This study focuses …

Ocean waves are an abundant source of energy. This energy of the ocean can be converted
into useful electrical energy using electrical generators. Linear generators have received …

All the existing linear generators used for oceanic wave energy conversions are basically
single-port linear electrical generators (SPLEGs). The conventional SPLEG transfers …

Despite transverse-flux machines (TFMs) being intrinsically three-dimensional, it is still
possible to analyze them using relatively simple analytical models. This paper aims to …

We investigate the performance of a novel power takeoff (PTO) featuring belt-arc speed
amplification for oscillating surge wave energy converters (OSWECs), aiming to address the …

Demagnetization of permanent magnet machines is a fault that evolves over time leading to
an eventual catastrophic failure. This condition is of particular interest in renewables, with …

This study considers the design and testing of a laboratory scale test rig for wave energy
converters (WECs). The main element of the test rig is a double‐sided permanent magnet …

Torque-speed characteristics of an oscillating wave energy converter (WEC) is necessary to
determine its optimal power point and to extract the corresponding design parameters for the …

An analytical technique for the calculation of torque produced by a transverse flux machine
is developed in this study. In this technique, the magnets are replaced by their equivalent …

In this paper, a virtual mutual inductance approach is used to analyze the performance of
transverse flux machines (TFMs). The virtual mutual inductance between the stator windings …
