Abstract

Due to the potential application on hybrid, an opposed-piston free-piston linear generator (OPFPLG) is designed, and its operating principle is described. According to its structural parameters and motion characteristics, the mathematical model is established, including the dynamics, thermodynamics, and control equations. The simulation model based on Matlab/Simulink platform is set up for numerically analyzing its performance. The result of the simulation generally accords with the design expectation, and the in-cylinder characteristics of the OPFPLG is analyzed. The indicate power is 6 kW and the mechanical efficiency is 38.2% in the simulation model. The influence of variable parameters - mass and ignition advance angle - is illustrated and discussed.
