Abstract: Wave energy is being increasingly regarded in China as a major and promising resource. There are many different ways to convert wave energy to electricity and some other energy. Hydraulic systems are used most widely in some of them to realize this conversion. An overview of hydraulic systems in wave energy application as well as the relevant technologies in China is given in this article. Some basic principles are presented, assessment and advices are shown for each category. Some suggestions of the outlook of hydraulic systems in wave energy application are also given.
