  • In this dissertation, the design of a linear alternator optimized for integration with a Free-Piston Stirling Engine (FPSE) is presented. The primary focus of the stator design in this linear alternator is on achieving a lightweight construction while enhancing power density, a significant improvement over traditional tubular topological linear alternators. A novel approach involves incorporating a slot-space within the tooth structure on the exterior portion of the stator back iron, which not only reduces the weight but also enhances the overall performance of the alternator. The designed linear alternator undergoes extensive numerical analyses for parametric evaluation, scrutinizing fundamental parameters such as variations in the stator and magnet materials, along with operational conditions including frequency and stroke length. Further studies are conducted on the effects of slotting to understand its impact on phenomena such as skin effects in the tooth structure and variations in machine performance. Building upon the insights from the parametric analysis, a detailed study on cogging force is conducted. Cogging force, an inherent counteractive force, restricts the translator's linear motion, thereby reducing the machine's lifespan, causing oscillatory power outputs, and increasing maintenance requirements. This research proposes methods to mitigate cogging forces by introducing geometrical modifications to the machine's structure. These changes are aimed at aligning the cogging force profile with the translator's displacement profile, thus minimizing vibrations and potential damage to the FPSE's piston. These modifications also affect the induced voltage, necessitating a balance between reduced voltage impact and cogging force through minor structural adjustments and optimization of the cogging force profile to a sinusoidal shape. Following theoretical and numerical validation, an experimental model of the linear alternator is developed and constructed. This prototype is rigorously tested under controlled conditions, focusing on key experimental variables such as stroke length and frequency. A rotary motor is utilized to simulate the conversion of rotary motion into linear motion, with tests conducted both in open and loaded scenarios. The experimental outcomes demonstrate a strong correlation with the numerical predictions, confirming the efficacy of the design modifications and the overall performance of the developed prototype.
