Abstract

Abstract: Archimedes wave swing(AWS) based wave energy conversion(WEC) system is the first device to adopt the direct-drive power take-off technique, which leads to a simple energy conversion configuration with a higher efficiency. The AWS based WEC system consists of a floater and a linear permanent-magnet generator(LPMG). The model of the AWS based WEC system was built in this paper. The transformation between the abc and dq frames of reference for the model of a LPMG was conducted. The model of a LPMG in dq frame of reference is the base for its controller design. The model was implemented in Matlab simulation system, by which the effectiveness of the model was tested under no-load and R-C load conditions.

Key words: wave energy conversion system, Archimedes wave swing (AWS), linear permanent-magnet generator, modeling
