Abstract :
Wave energy is an emerging kind of renewable energy, and several energy conversion methods are available today. One solution is to connect a buoy to a linear generator. Such units are quite small (10-100 kW), and farm solutions are suggested to increase power production. This paper shows the results from small farm simulations where the alternator motion is varied for the generators in the farm
