Abstract
In this paper, we focus on wave-power generation system by gyroscopic effect. In earlier study on it, we found that the phase lock between the phase of generator rotation and that of generator system motion leads to an increase in power generation. In order to achieve the phase lock in at-sea experiments, first, we conducted experiments with small power generation system by gyroscopic effect in the laboratory. Next, we conducted at-sea experiments with large power generation system by gyroscopic effect in Tottori. In the test, we tried to conform the reference signals of gyro system to that of float motion, and achieved the phase lock by manual control. Furthermore, we confirmed that this system has the self-synchronization effect.
