The application of hydraulic transmission in wave power converter (WEC) to improve the efficiency and stability of energy conversion is a hot topic in the development of wave power generation technologies. The structure and the working principle of an independent inverse-pendulum wave power generation system based on hydraulic transmission are introduced. The principles of using accumulators, load-control and displacement control to improve the capture efficiency and the output stability of energy are also analyzed. A simulation model of the whole system is built in the co-simulation environment. Furthermore, a semi-physical test is done. The results validated the theoretical analysis and provided basis for further improvement of the system.
