Design and Analysis of the Linear Electrical Generator in Wave Energy Farm Utilizing Resonance Power Buoy System

The importance of renewable energy has led to the preliminary development of a technology that converts wave energy to electric energy. Therefore in this research, we propose a novel generation system that is composed of a linear generator inside a buoy. It converts wave energy into electric energy. We expect that the proposed system can generate sufficient power in a relatively small wave energy area where WRPS is operated. Furthermore, we analyze the vibration characteristics of two degrees of freedom linear generator in the proposed generation system by vibration analysis. At same time, we design and analyze the linear generator by using a commercial electromagnetic analysis software named MAXWELL.
