To utilize wave energy, we propose a power take-off device mainly composed of a novel buoy and a high-temperature superconducting synchronous reluctance linear generator (HTS-SRLG). We describe the conceptual structure and function of the buoy, which makes use of seawater to provide more power to the HTS-SRLG. Then, we introduce the configuration and the key electrical design process of the HTS-SRLG. Design result of the HTS-SRLG is presented and compared with that of counterparts to demonstrate its advantages in performance and in application. This article is conducted from the viewpoint of promoting the industrial application of HTS machines. The proposed buoy gives an insight of improving the utilizing efficiency of wave energy. And the HTS-SRLG contributes to simplify the generator cooling.
