The possibility to use three-phase permanent magnet linear generators to convert sea wave energy into electric energy is investigated by multiphysics simulations. The results show a possibility, which needs to be further verified by experimental tests, for a future step toward a sustainable electric power production from ocean waves by using direct conversion. The results suggest that wave energy can have an impact on tomorrow's new sustainable electricity production, not only for large units, but also for units ranging down to 10 kW. This gives wave power a larger economical potential than previously estimated. The study demonstrates the feasibility of computer simulations to give a broad, and in several aspects a detailed, understanding of the energy conversion. The simulation results also give a useful starting point for future experimental work.
