本研究將自由活塞式史特靈引擎結合線性振盪發電機建立整合系統。由於自由活塞式史特靈引擎具有較簡單機構，其運作參數被限制在一定範圍內。隨著線性交流發電機的結合，整合系統的動態特性隨之改變。本研究進行數值模擬以預測系統特性，並通過數值模擬獲得可行的操作條件。由於影響整合系統運行的參數較為複雜，因此觀察其數值模擬結果可為線性交流發電機開發的提供進一步參考數據。
在本研究中，線性振盪發電機被視為自由活塞式史特靈引擎動態模型的外部負載。採用商業電磁模擬軟體JMAG，建立線性振盪發電機的電磁模型。自由活塞式史特靈引擎之動力模型、熱力模型與系統整合模型是藉由Visual Basic建構。系統之動態行為以及線性振盪發電機的電磁輸出透過數值模擬獲得。透過分析自由活塞式史特靈引擎的幾何參數與操作條件可取得整合系統之運作狀態。其分析數據做為實驗驗證之依據。

An integrated model considering a linear alternator incorporated with free-piston Stirling engine (FPSE) is developed in this study. With the simple mechanism of the free piston Stirling engine, the operating parameters are restricted in certain range. In order to predict the performance of the integrated system, numerical simulation is performed in this study. With the integration of linear alternator, the operating characteristics of system has changed which can be testified through numerical simulation to obtain workable input condition. Since the parameters that affecting the operation of integrated system are complicated, observing the output simulation results provide reference data for further development of linear alternator.
In this study, the FPSE is integrated with a linear alternator which is considered as an external load for the dynamic model. Using commercial electromagnetic simulation software JMAG, the electromagnetic model of the linear alternator is constructed. The in-house thermodynamic, dynamic and the integrated program are built based on Visual Basic computer language. The dynamic behavior of integrated system along with the electrical output of the linear alternator are obtained. The geometric parameters and initial operating conditions of FPSE are analyzed and an compatible condition is found for the integrated system. The analysis data can be the reference for further experimental application.
