Gyroscope Control System in Wave Power Plant Using PID Controller

A wave power plant can generate sufficient electrical voltage using the wave as energy to supply electrical equipment. Nevertheless, waves become a problem to generate because it depends on the wind to obtain the generated voltage in the wave power plant. The wave power plant must be able to work optimally to produce electric power and stabilize the voltage output. It can be done by implementing a gyroscope control system in the wave power plan. In this study, the wave power plant control was designed using a PID controller with five types of controllers, namely system without controller, system with P controller, system with PI controller, system with PD controller, and system with PID controller. The results showed that the use of a PD controller with a value of KP = 5.2 and KD = 0.6 can produce a voltage value on the power take off (PTO) generator when the ocean wave occurred and made the gimbal movement unstable.
