Linear generators for direct drive marine renewable energy converters
This thesis is concerned with the development of linear generators for use as the power take off mechanism in marine renewable energy converters. Delivering significant power at the low velocities demanded by wave and tidal stream energy converters requires a large force, which must be reacted by …

Modelling and Control of Tubular Linear Generators for Wave-Power Applications
Linear generators are an attractive choice for use in wave-power applications. They have the ability to be coupled directly to the motion of a point-absorber or float, eliminating the need for potentially complex mechanical/hydraulic intermediate stages which are often required for designs based on …

An investigation into the use of linear generators in the Schneider Hydro-Power Generation system
… into Llie feasibility and efficiency of a linear generation unit rather than a rotational generation unit. As is, the Hydro Beaver generates power through a rotational power generation unit placed on one of the axis. The idea is that a linear generation unit would be able to provide more …

Feasibility Study of a Linear Generator Wave Energy Converter With Adaptive Bistable Control
… increase complexity and can incur energy losses. Linear generators have emerged as a promising wave energy technology that bypass the limitations of intermediaries through direct mechanical to electrical energy conversion. The convention is to configure the generator so that incident waves excite …

Effects of non-linear stiffness on performance of an energy harvesting device
… or hostile environments. To date, resonant linear generators have been the most common type of generators used in harvesting energy for such devices. Simple tuning and modelling methods make it a more favourable solution theoretically if not practically. This thesis considers the limitations …

Strength in Flexibility; Research into Innovative Flexible Bearing Designs for Wave Convertor Permanent Magnet Generators
… the use of hydrostatic bearings in large linear machines, such as linear generators, and determine their viability in a power generation context. It quickly became clear that it was possible to make hydro-static bearings viable, however the methods employed to do so gave rise to new …
