Design and Analysis of Ocean Wave Induced Permanent Magnet Energy Generator
VerifiedAI Summary
This thesis proposes a design of permanent magnet linear generator for conversion of wave energy to voltage. Mathematical and numerical models are used to calculate electrical energy production and efficiency. ANSYS/ANSOFT Maxwell software is used for magnetic field analysis. Static analysis is performed in Solidworks for loads due to magnetic fields and self-weight. The report discusses the advantages and disadvantages of harnessing ocean energy and the scope of application of PMLG. The significance of the study lies in the potential of exploiting the continuous and unlimited source of energy provided by ocean waves without causing pollution or harm to the environment.
