To improve the power density and generation efficiency of the tubular permanent magnetic linear generators (TPMLGs) under realistic sea-stator condition, a TPMLG with 120° phase belt toroidal windings (120°-TPMLG) for wave energy conversion is proposed in this paper.Design/methodology/approachFirst, the structure of the 120°-TPMLG is introduced and its operation principle is analyzed. Second, the design process of the 120°-TPMLG is described. Meanwhile, the finite-element models of the 120°-TPMLG and the TPMLG with traditional fractional pitch windings (T-TPMLG) are established based on the similar overall dimensions. Then, the electromagnetic characteristics of the 120°-TPMLG are analyzed, such as air gap flux density, back electromotive force and load voltage. Finally, a comparative analysis of the magnetic flux density, flux linkage, load and no-load performance of the two generators are conducted.FindingsThe result shows that the 120°-TPMLG has higher power density and generation efficiency than the T-TPMLG.Originality/valueThis paper proposes a TPMLG with 120° phase belt toroidal windings (120°-TPMLG) to improve the power density and generation efficiency.
