Abstract

Firstly, the research status in the field of wave energy generation was systematically discuss, and the basic principles and device classification of wave energy generation were introduced in detail. Application examples of wave energy converter in conventional and low energy density seas are listed. Secondly, the control methods of wave energy converter and their applications in low energy density sea were introduced from multiple perspectives such as passive damping control, reactive power control, and intelligent control. Finally, the development direction of future wave energy power generation technology is prospected. The research results point out that future research trends will mainly focus on wave energy control methods that integrate multiple algorithms and offshore wave energy power generation.
