Abstract
A directly driven permanent magnet linear generator for ocean wave energy conversion has been simulated for a specific site with large waves. Wave characteristics influence the generator power output, the electromagnetic processes, geometrical sizes, and efficiency. The buoy and the generator dimensions are important parameters to get high efficiency of the converter. Electromagnetic and mechanical simulations of the generator with realistic wave conditions are presented.
