A new type of wave energy converter device, gyroscopic wave energy converter (GWEC) based on gyroscopic precession principle, is proposed in this paper. The dynamic model of the device is established, and a variable load maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method is adopted to achieve the goal of keeping the system near the maximum power when the wave amplitude changes. The maximum power point of the circuit is found by perturbation and observation method and incremental conductance method to form a specified PWM wave, which can control the switching on and off, then change the load of the circuit, and realizes the maximum power tracking of the system. Compared with the simulation results, the two methods have their own characteristics, but they can basically adjust the equivalent load adaptively with the change of wave amplitude, and achieve the maximum power output of the circuit.
