Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for controlling two or more linear generators each operating according to a repeated behavior to constitute a cycle. A control system utilizes control circuitry to determine a desired phase offset between operation cycles of a first linear generator and a second linear generator of the two or more linear generators. During operation, an actual phase offset between the first linear generator and the second linear generator is determined. The control circuitry of the control system is used to modify the operation of at least one of the first linear generator or the second linear generator to achieve the desired phase effect.
