The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Direct Drive Wave Energy has a unique set of requirements for an ideal power take off. The slow speed reciprocating nature of many primary movers leads designers to use either intermediate mechanical systems or force dense machine types. There is a play off between electrical machine capital cost, mass, efficiency, force ripple and power factor. This paper presents the development of a case study wave energy device and uses it as the basis to assess a number of machine topologies for use as the direct drive power take off. The aim is that it can be used to aid future electrical machine design studies for other devices.
