The work presented in this article is intended to calculate and analyze a dual-buoy 5kW wave energy converter. This device consists of two-body point absorber, one floating body and one semi-submerged body, which moves inside a tube. A linear permanent magnet generator that is a direct-driven conversion mechanism connects two bodies. In this article, a simple modeling approach for the linear permanent magnet generator is presented and its structure is described.
