As a direct drive device, linear motor has been widely used in various industries in recent years with its rapid development. 

     Among them, including the power industry, linear motor in the power industry is mainly reflected in the application of wave power generation. Trident Energy’s hydrofoil floating platform, designed by the UK company Trident Energy, is equipped with linear motors, each platform can generate 1MW of electricity, the trial installation was carried out in 2009. The archimedes wave energy conversion device developed in the Netherlands makes use of the pressure difference between the crest and the trough of the wave to make relative motion and drive the linear motor to generate electricity. Sweden is also developing floating direct-drive point-absorption wave power generators, also using linear motors. During the 11th five-year plan period, the Guangzhou Energy Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Carried Out Research and development of a floating linear motor-type wave energy device, at present, the 10kW floating linear motor wave energy device “Nezha-1”has been tested in the sea... in the future, the application of linear motor in wave energy generation will be more and more mature. 

      More recently, Oscilla Power has completed the installation of three transmission systems for the TRITON-C wave Power plant, which will eventually be installed in Hawaii’s waters at the end of 2021, with a total capacity of 100 kw, it is not known whether the wave power generator uses a linear motor. 

       Kunshan Tong Mao Electronics Co. , Ltd. is a collection of LINEAR MOTOR R & D, manufacturing and sales of intelligence as one of the manufacturers. The company is committed to providing customers with straight line and swing motion solutions, improve customer machine power performance and reduce customer acquisition costs, products sold overseas.
