A novel double-sided flat rectangular linear permanent magnets synchronous generator for sea wave energy application

In the renewable energy field, sea wave energy is one of the less explored markets, mainly due to hard environmental and technical requirements related to this source of energy. Last years, a wide range of new technologies have been developed concerning this technology. Among this, it has been considered the use of the oscillatory action of sea waves as a way to move the linear generators for direct drive coupling. This report presents the benefits of double-sided flat rectangular linear permanent magnets synchronous generator magnets with flux concentrators on its poles for direct coupling with a specific sea wave energy point absorber.
