%A The Ba Dang %A Van Tien Doan %A Hoang Quan Nguyen %T Designing and Analyzing of a Dual-Buoy 5kW Wave Energy Converter %X Ocean wave energy is a renewable energy source with a large potential to contribute to the world’s electricity production. 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. %C Ha Noi, Vietnam %D 2016 %P 72-77 %L SisLab2382
