| Summary: | The south coast of Java Island has significant wave
height that allows for wave energy to electric energy conversion.
Wave energy converter using permanent magnet linear generator
(PMLG) attracting more attention due to its efficiency of the
generator and the elimination of translational to rotational
motion converter in the generator, but PMLG suffer from
electric power losses in the winding. In this paper, a tri core
PMLG design which has minimum electric power losses is
proposed. The electric power losses in the winding are ideally
minimized using simulated annealing algorithm. Then, finite
element analysis is used to analyze and verify the proposed
design of PMLG. The small scale optimum design of this PMLG
is simulated using an oscillating water column (OWC) chamber
to analyze and investigate the performance of this linear
generator. Simulation result shows that PMLG has a good
efficiency and confirm the capability of this PMLG installed with
OWC chamber in the south coast of Java Island.
