The objective of the research is to obtain a better understanding of the feasibility of superconducting machine concepts for wave energy systems. These topologies were previously investigated by Keysan with regards to wind energy. An optimization design tool is developed in Matlab for the electrical design of the machine types. Two case studies, namely the Archimedes Wave Swing and the Oyster wave energy converter for the double-claw pole design are applied and presented in this work. The main advantage of the configurations is the significantly less superconducting tape requirement compared to conventional configurations. Both designs apply less than 10 km of superconducting tape.
