This paper describes the detailed analysis for the design of a linear\ngenerator developed for a Surface Riding Wave Energy Converter (SR-WEC), which\nwas designed to improve energy capture over a wider range of sea states. The\nstudy starts with an analysis of the power take-off (PTO) control strategy to\nharness the maximum output power from given sea states. Passive, reactive, and\ndiscrete PTO control are explored. For the random wave excitation and limited\nsliding distance of the generator, the discrete strategy provides the highest\naverage power output. The paper discusses the sizing requirement for the linear\ngenerator. Based on the force and power rating of the system and the\napplication requirements, a slotless permanent magnet tubular generator is\ndesigned for the wave energy converter.\n
