Designing microgenerator with Ansoft Maxwell

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on designing an energy harvester using a magnetic spring, specifically utilizing Ansoft Maxwell 2D for magnetostatic analysis. The user seeks assistance in generating a linear force vs. displacement curve for the moving magnet and calculating the output power (voltage and current) from the winding around the magnetic spring. The goal is to achieve the highest linearity in the force-displacement relationship to optimize power output.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnetostatic analysis using Ansoft Maxwell 2D
  • Knowledge of force vs. displacement curve characteristics
  • Familiarity with energy harvesting concepts
  • Basic electrical principles related to voltage and current output
NEXT STEPS
  • Research techniques for optimizing force vs. displacement curves in magnetic springs
  • Learn about power output calculations in energy harvesting systems
  • Explore advanced features of Ansoft Maxwell for improved analysis
  • Study the paper 'Design of a linearized magnetic spring for body-worn inertial energy harvesters' for additional insights
USEFUL FOR

Engineers and researchers involved in energy harvesting design, particularly those focusing on magnetic spring systems and using Ansoft Maxwell for analysis.

I am designing an energy harvester consisting of a magnetic spring.
The figure is given in the attachment.
I have done the magnetostatic analysis (using Ansoft Maxwell 2D). But, now I am facing problem with -
  • Force vs displacement curve of the moving magnet
  • To calculate the output power (Voltage+current) from the winding arround the magnetic spring

I need to design a magnetic spring with highest linearity (linear force-displacement curve) and to get better power output from the winding.
I am beginner with ansoft maxwell. Can anyone help me in this regard?

Thanks

I have also a similar problem with Ansoft Maxwell !
 
This paper 'Design of a linearized magnetic spring for body-worn inertial energy harvesters' may help you out.
Thanks.
