Abstract :
In recent years linear generators have been proposed in several marine applications as a well-suited technology for power generation such as power buoys. Those kind of buoys could be used as large-scale devices in power plants and as small-size devices in electronic supply as well. In this work a numerical model of a three phase tubular permanent magnet linear generator is integrated with a Genetical Swarm Optimization algorithm in order to provide a first optimization for electronic applications. Numerical results have been reported and discussed and a generator prototype has been tested on a test bed in order to validate the predicted performances.
