Hence better performance and efficiency of the vehicles can be achieved by using free piston engine, in which the piston reciprocate linearly with a permanent magnet linear generator (PMLG) without the need of a crankshaft. The PMLG has high performance, but suffering from the cogging force. The cogging force induces undesired vibration and acoustic noise and makes a ripple in the thrust force. Moreover, the cogging force deteriorates the control characteristics, particularly in terms of the position control and speed precisely. This paper proposes Somaloy to replace the laminated silicon steel sheets in order to reduce the cogging force in a PMLG. Through a finite-element analysis, it has been shown that, the stator core made of Somaloy minimizes the cogging force of the PMLG, moreover, giving larger flux-linkage and back-electromotive force (B-EMF), respectively. © JES 2017. date: 2017 publisher: Engineering and Scientific Research Groups official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85028616622&partnerID=40&md5=f3ce07301f4a07418e87b9d77dccada8 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Electrical Systems volume: 13 number: 3 pagerange: 489-502 refereed: TRUE issn: 11125209 citation: Abdalla, I.I. and Zainal A., E.Z. and Anwarudin, A.R.T. and Firmansyah and Aziz, A.R.A. and Heikal, M.R.
