Abstract

Being one of the most promising renewable energy sources, ocean wave energy (OWE) demonstrates considerable development and application potential. Consequently, various related technologies have rapidly advanced in recent decades, particularly in the field of wave energy converters (WEC). Power take-off (PTO) stands as a vital element within WEC systems. During the planning and implementation of WEC systems, diverse types of PTO systems and control strategies emerge as crucial factors that impact overall power output and stability. To comprehensively review PTO systems, this paper offers a comprehensive overview and discussion of state-of-the-art development status of PTO, including of based structures, working principles and control strategies. In contrast to prior reviews, a more thorough classification and comparison of different PTO systems have been undertaken in this review with the consideration of seven types of PTO systems in total and detailed control strategies for various PTO types. Besides, the proposed framework includes an evaluation and comparison of advantages/disadvantages, application, complexity, and costs for each controller. Lastly, seven invaluable perspectives are proposed for future research.
