This paper presents the analysis on geometrical parameters of the power-optimized coil based on Faradays principle by maximizing the coverage of magnetic flux linkage by the coil using a cylindrical permanent magnet of 6 mm diameter and 6 mm height. Faradays law states that induced voltage is the rate of change of flux linkage, meaning more winding induces more voltage. However it will increase also the resistance of the coil because the length of copper wire will also increase, which will reduce the generated power and power-density by the harvester according to Joules and Ohms laws. Simulation is used to virtually wind the inner and outer geometrical parameters of the coil using the given boundaries and the dimensions with highest output power are determined. The proposed form of the coil is cap-like shape which covers top half of the magnet where the amount of surrounding magnetic flux linkage is maximal. The result showed the induced power could be improved up to 60% using this method compared to usage of conventional ring-shaped coils.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to modernize the generator system of wind turbine concept that not only improves the efficiency and power density but also reduces the system cost making design simpler and less expensive, especially in large-scale production. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents a new permanent magnet transverse flux generator (PMTFG) for wind energy production. The key feature of its composition is the double armature coil in a semi-closed stator core. The main structural difference of the presented design is the use of double coil in the same space of semi-closed stator core and reduced number of stator pole pairs and rotor magnets from 12/24 to 10/20. 3D simulations are performed using finite element analysis (FEA) to measure induced voltage and magnetic field distribution at no load. The FEA is performed to quantify the change in flux linkage, induced voltage and output power as a function of different speeds and load current. Findings Results show that PMTFG with double coil configuration has improved electromagnetic performance in terms of flux linkage, induced voltage, output power and efficiency. The power density of 10/20 PMTFG with the double coil is 0.0524 KW/Kg, about an 18% increase compared to the conventional design. Research limitations/implications The proposed PMTFG is highly recommended for direct drive applications such as wind power. Originality/value Four models are simulated by FEA with single and double coil configuration, and load analysis is performed on all simulated models. Finally, results are compared with conventional PMTFG.

This study presents mechanical energy dissipation with a proof-of-concept prototype magnetostrictive (Fe-Ga alloy, galfenol) based shunt circuit using passive electrical components. Magneto strictive material can harvest electricity out of the structural vibrations based on the Villari effect using permanent magnet and pickup coil configuration. The device in this study consists of a polycrystalline galfenol strip bonded to a brass cantilever beam. Two brass pieces, each containing a permanent magnet, are used to mass load at the end of the beam and to provide a magnetic bias field through the galfenol strip. The voltage induced in an induction coil closely wound around the cantilever beam captures the time rate of change of magnetic flux within the galfenol strip as the beam vibrates. To dissipate the electrical voltage output from the pickup coil and/or to change the phase of eddy current from the magnetic flux density fluctuation, a shunt circuit is attached. The effective mechanical impedance for the magnetostrictive shunt circuit is derived in a model. The effectiveness of a series L-R and L-C shunt circuit is demonstrated theoretically and experimentally. The non-linear model parameters, which include the mechanical-magnetic coupling factors, α and αT, and the permeability of galfenol, β, are extracted from experimental measurement. The shunted magnetostrictive damping model of both resistive and capacitance shunt cases compare well with the experimental results.

In this paper, modification of dual-Halbach permanent magnet (PM) array is investigated to improve performance of tubular linear machine, in terms of flux density and output power. Instead of a classical Halbach array with only radial and axial PMs, proposed model involves insertion of mig-magnets, which have magnetized angle shifted from the reference magnetized angles of axial and radial PMs. This structure leads to elimination of flux leakage and concentration of flux linkage in middle of the coil; therefore, the performance of machine is increased.

Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generator it can provide highly reliable power generation with small in size, no copper losses in the rotor circuit, no need for external excitation. We designed and simulated the PMSG with 12 slots and 8 poles with an alternating polarity magnet configuration: NN-SS-NN-SS-NN-SS-NN-SS-NN-SS-NN magnetic flux per pole in the outer stator and the inner stator has been assumed to be constant, following sizes and materials described in this paper. The generator's number of poles is determined by stacking several sections of the magnet side by side and grouping opposite poles in a continuous pattern. the initial design of the PMSG 12 slots and 8 poles outer-runner compare to see how the halbach array configuration changes the output parameter, it will be included. Proportional to the load size and speed The larger the magnetic flux generated by the movement of the magnetic field, the higher the rpm, and the heavier the coil magnetic flux obtained, the higher the induced voltage. This research use five speed variations varying from 1000 to 5000 rpm and load variation from 5 ohm, 15 ohm, 30 ohm, 60 ohm, and 100 ohm. With the effect that the flux distribution is voltage generated at a 5 ohm load only increases at 1000 rpm, while the increase in torque produces an increase in the amount of input power at 30 ohm, which is equal to both the speed and the amount of torque, where the input power increases at all speeds at a load of 30 ohm. This also arises when the output power generated at a load of 30 ohm increases by a high efficiency of over 86%.

This paper represents a numerical and experimental investigation of the bidirectional piezoelectric energy harvester. The harvester can harvest energy from the vibrating base in two perpendicular directions. The introduced harvester consists of two cantilevers that are connected by a particular angle and two seismic masses. The first mass is placed at a free end of the harvester while the second mass is fixed at the joining point of the cantilevers. The piezoelectric energy harvester employs the first and the second out of plane bending modes. The numerical investigation was carried out to obtain optimal geometrical parameters and to calculate the mechanical and electrical characteristics of the harvester. The energy harvester can provide stable output power during harmonic and impact-based excitation in two directions. The results of the investigations showed that energy harvester provides a maximum output power of 16.85 µW and 15.9 4 µW when the base has harmonic vibrations in y and z directions, respectively. Maximum output of 4.059 nW/N and 3.1 nW/N in y and z directions were obtained in case of impact based excitation

In this paper, design analysis of Hybrid- Excited Flux Switching Machine (H-EFSM) with 12Slot-8Pole (12S-8P) and 12Slot-14Pole (12S-14P) topologies are presented. H-EFSM  has  been introduced in which  the advantage  of  Permanent  Magnet  (PM)  machines  and  DC  Field Excitation Coil (FEC) synchronous machines is combined. H-EFSM  design proposed less permanent magnet consumption, high to torque/power density and high efficiency. In recent, most of H-EFSM having FEC arranged  in  theta  direction  that affect in flux production which cause less flux generation and machines performances.  Therefore, a design of 12S-8P and 12S-14P H-EFSM with FEC arranged in radial direction is proposed to prevent flux cancellation and produce high flux linkage. Performance analysis of 12S-8P and 12S-14 H-EFSM such as PM flux, induced voltage, cogging torque and flux distribution are investigated by 2-D Finite Element Analysis (2D-FEA). A design with 12S-14P configuration has achieved the higher torque and power with 220.15Nm and  92.45kW, respectively at maximum field and armature current density

In the design of the micro electromagnetic vibration harvester, an important goal is maximization of the magnetic flux linkage gradient, which directly determines the induced voltage and output power of the electromagnetic vibration harvester. This paper established a numerical model based on structure of the electromagnetic vibration energy harvester. An analytic expression for the magnetic field of rectangular permanent magnets is used to build up an electromagnetic coupling model. The magnetic field distribution of the rectangular permanent magnet was analyzed. The effects of the gap between the magnet and the coil on the load voltage of the electromagnetic vibration energy harvester were investigated. According to the formula, the magnetic flux linkage and flux gradient were calculated to optimize the geometrical parameter of the magnet and coil. The method and boundary conditions of optimizing the gap between the magnet and coil were presented. The maximum output voltage can be obtained by optimizing the gap between the magnet and the coil. A simple prototype was fabricated and measured to validate the theoretical deducing and the feasibility of method.

To improve the performances under low speed wind, a wind energy harvester similar to harmonicas was proposed. The harvester mainly includes a cuboid chamber and a cantilevered beam. The front wall of the chamber is opened as the air entrance and a rectangular hole is opened on the sidewall as the exit. The cantilever composed of a piezoelectric sheet and a flexible beam was fixed onto the sidewall of the chamber near the exit. Experimental results show that the width and height of the chamber significantly affect critical wind speed and output power, respectively. The initial attack angle of the cantilever has important influence on the critical wind speed. Blunt body at the air entrance could remarkably decrease the critical wind speed. For a prototype with a 60 mm×20 mm×13 mm chamber, the length of the cantilever of 30 mm and the length of the piezoelectric sheet of 8 mm, the measured maximum output power is 1.1 mW under 17 m/s wind.
