Abstract
An analytical design optimisation model of a novel air-cored permanent magnet linear generator is developed for wave energy conversion. The aim is to reach a design with dimensions optimised for minimum cost of the active material. The analytical results are verified with finite element analysis and compared to previous studies. The optimised machine shows considerable improvement over previous designs.
