Abstract
Several renewable energy sources (RESs) are accessible and the electrical machines have been employed in some of the hydro-electrical power generating stations for a long time. At present, oceanic waves are considered as one of the massive natural sources of energy. The sea waves are occasionally recognized as wind wave and they are conceived with higher energy capacity than the other existing widespread RESs. Traditional electrical generators are made of copper winding for electrical power generation by extraction of oceanic wave energy. The effectiveness of these generators depends on their winding due to copper loss. Hence, improved electrical technologies using superconducting windings, are desirable for fruitful generation of electrical energy from the oceanic wave energy. As a result, various types of advanced electrical machineries have been developed to harvest the kinetic energy from the oceanic wave and to produce electric energy. In this chapter, different types of linear generators including copper and superconducting windings, classification, construction, model, advantages, disadvantages and applications are described in an explicable way.
