Introduced LS-SMPMSG as an important generator in the industry is utilized in marine energy conversion (MEC) and tidal energy conversion (TEC) systems. The main feature of the designed LS-SMPMSG exhibited is its ability to generate electrical power in MEC and TEC systems at a low speed of approximatively 100 rpm. In this paper, a new slot structure for LS-SMPMSG has been proposed to enhance the LS-SMPMSG performance. The FEM analysis and comparing results shows that the new slot structure reduced the torque ripple and the cogging torque equal to 19.54% and 87.5%. respectively. Also, it influenced the LS-SMPMSG Joule losses by reducing it close to 16.1%. Another advantage of the new slot structure of LS-SMPMSG is its easy construction and assembly. The FEM analysis as a powerful method validates the advantages of the proposed structure.}, keywords = {Marine Energy Conversion System,Tidal Energy Conversion System,XLPE,Finite element method,Torque Ripple,Joule loss}, url = {https://www.ije.ir/article_132952.html}, eprint = {https://www.ije.ir/article_132952_bef85d235535affe06f20fe18449ce17.pdf} }
