As a renewable energy, ocean wave energy is exploited with infinite potential to solve the energy crisis. In this study, we develop a novel two-body direct-drive wave energy converter (DD-WEC) to surmount the problems associated with low power density, low direct-drive speed of the buoys, seawater corrosion and maintenance in the existing two-body WEC. Its prototype consists of two cylindrical buoys are utilized that float horizontally at sea level and the Halbach permanent magnet linear generator (HPMLG) that is employed in the power take-off (PTO) system. The energy is extracted from the relative motion between two buoys oscillating. Compared with the existing WEC, the proposed WEC has more vigorous motion between buoys, higher conversion efficiency and little extra underwater structure, due to the utilization of the horizontal buoys and the HPMLG. First, the motion equations of buoys are derived on the basis of linear wave theory. And depending on the motion equations, the structure of buoys and the HPMLG is designed. And we found that compared with the existing WEC, the proposed WEC has more vigorous motion between buoys in the seawater waves oscillation. Then, based on finite-element method (FEM), the performance of the HPMLG is evaluated, and it can generate 19% more power than the traditional permanent magnet linear generator (TPMLG) based on the same wave motion. Finally, the DD-WEC prototype is manufactured based on the designed parameter. The manufactured prototype is tested in the test platform and the wave tank. The measured output voltage is highly consistent with the observed variation trends in FEM simulation data. The results show that the proposed DD-WEC is well suited for wave energy conversion.
