Damping Effect Coupled with the Internal Translator Mass of Linear Generator-Based Wave Energy Converters
The damping effect, induced inside the linear generator, is a vital factor to improve the conversion efficiency of wave energy converters (WEC). As part of the mechanical design, the translator mass affects the damping force and eventually affects the performance of the WEC by converting wave energy...
