Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide Superconductor Used in a Linear Generator for High Power Generation from the Oceanic Wave

Abstract

Most of the existing linear generator uses ordinary copper winding that results in low amount of electrical power generation from the oceanic wave. This paper proposes a highperformance permanent magnet flux switching linear generator (PMFSLG) in which a high temperature superconductor, yttrium barium copper oxide is used for winding. The generated voltage, load current, magnetic flux linkage, and output power of the PMFSLG are shown in detail. The finite element method is used by ANSYS/Maxwell simulation software and the results show that, the proposed PMFSLG has better flux linkage, can generate more output voltage and power than that of the conventional one.
