A linear electrical generator is a kind of device which can be used to wave energy converter, for directly converting mechanical energy of a floating structure into electrical energy. A wave farm consists of multiple wave energy converters which equipped in a sea area. In the present paper, a numerical model is proposed considering the interference effect in the multiple floating structures, and the controlling force of each linear electrical generator. Especially, the copper losses in the electrical generator is taken into account, when the electrical power is computed. At first, the controlling force coefficients are discussed to find their physical effects on heaving motion. In a case study, the heaving motions and electrical powers of the three floating structures are estimated in the straight arrangement and triangle arrangement. And the average electrical power is analyzed in different distances of the floating structures.
