A controller of a gyroscope structure associated with a floating hull and equipped with an electrical converter suitable for converting the rotational energy of the floating hull into electrical energy, the controller, receiving as input a perturbed output state including operating variables of the gyroscope structure to determine a driving signal of the electrical converter, which includes

WEC controller, method and system

A wave power generator includes a box-shaped body having an inner chamber containing a first gyroscopic device that includes a first frame hinged to the body around a first axis, a first gyroscope being carried by the first frame in a rotatable manner around a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, a first actuator being carried by the first frame to rotate the first gyroscope around the second axis, and a first converter device that converts rotational mechanical energy into electric energy that is mechanically coupled to the first frame. The first converter device is connected to a stabilizing device. A second gyroscopic device includes a second frame hinged to the body around a third axis transversal to the first axis.

Power generator

A system for generating electrical energy from the wave motion of the sea is provided with electrical-energy generating means for exploiting the wave motion of the sea in order to generate electrical energy. A floating body is provided with equipment designed to regulate the frequency of the resonance peak of the system.
