A linear-rotary motion permanent magnet (PM) generator is investigated with six axial modular E-shaped stator sections arranged circumferentially, which can meet the requirement of wave and tidal energies generation. The PM pole is magnetized in radial direction, and the adjacent PM poles with opposite magnetized directions are interlaced by half mover pole pitch both in circumferential and axial directions, which are located on the mover surface. The rotational and rectilinear motions are achieved by one magnetic circuit structure according to the transverse flux principle and electromagnetic induction principle. The optimization design and electromagnetic properties of the proposed motor are calculated by 3-D finite element simulation. Then the optimal structural parameters are obtained. The back electromotive force (back EMF) and harmonics, the amplitudes of the cogging torque and detent force are decreased than those of the initial topology. Since three phases of the nine phase windings generate same initial phase angle of back EMF whether it works in rotational or rectilinear motion, the traditional three phase energy storage system can be used to realize the energy storage of the nine phase windings, which reduces the difficulty of electrical energy storage. The variation of the amplitude of back EMF is hardly affected with different mover positions, which is conducive to improve the efficiency of marine energy power generation.
