PTO (power take-off) system is an important part of wave energy converters (WECs). In this paper, a mechanical PTO system was proposed for a WEC with a float arm. Co-simulation study of the hydrodynamic performance of float-arm buoy and PTO system under the influence of generator load and mechanical transmission was carried out.The motion responses of the buoy under different stroke modes were analyzed, the parameters of the PTO system of the co-simulation model were also optimized.The results show that the power of the WEC with double strokes is significantly higher than that of the WEC with a single stroke, and that the transmission ratio corresponding to the optimal power of the WEC with double strokes is about 72.5. For the buoy working with a single stroke, the ascending stroke power is nearly equal to the descending stroke power under a low transmission ratio (less than 60). With the increase of transmission ratio, both the power of the ascending stroke and the power of descending stroke increase compared with that of dual-stroke mode, while the descending stroke power is larger than the ascending stroke power. The co-simulation method may provide a reference for the design and optimization of various point absorber WECs under different sea conditions.
