    According to the inherent characteristics of the hydraulic power take-off (PTO) system, the output power of a generator tends to be intermittent when the wave is random. Therefore, this paper aims to improve the effective utilization of wave energy and reduce power intermittency by constructing a topology with two branches to transmit electrical energy. Firstly, the wave-to-wire (W2W) model of the system is constructed. Secondly, the W2W model is simulated by using synovial and quasi-proportional resonance (QPR) control with regular and irregular incident waves, and the results of PI control are compared. Then, the control strategy in simulation is verified by experiments. The simulation and experimental results show that the control strategy has better performance, and the stability of the system output power is greatly improved.
