In order to fully utilize the high-energy nature of permanent magnet (PM) material, the stator-PM structure and the mover-PM structure of linear machines are integrated into one doubly salient PM machine topology, leading to a new class of doubly salient dual-PM linear machines. In essence, PMs are mounted on both the stator and mover iron cores while avoiding magnetic saturation, hence offering the high force density and high power density. Meanwhile, it consists of a fault-tolerant tooth stator and a consequent-pole mover, which can provide the fault-tolerant capability and exert the salient effect, respectively. By using finite-element analysis, the proposed machine is optimized for application to regenerative shock absorbers which can provide on-board renewable energy harvesting in vehicles. The machine performances are analyzed and quantitatively compared with that of its counterparts including the stator-PM linear machine and the mover-PM linear machine. Moreover, both the flat and tubular morphologies of the proposed machine are quantitatively compared and discussed.
