Overview: The purpose of this paper is to establish whether a case exists for detailed development to proceed with the concept of direct-acting linear electrical machines as generators within wave power systems. Developments in permanent-magnet materials and in new electromagnetic topologies to exploit their properties offer the prospect of electrical generators that have reciprocating linear motion and work satisfactorily at the low speed of the wave motion. The methodology adopted for this initial exploratory paper is to select an example of a potentially useful wave power device and to develop competing designs.
