Popis: This paper describes the control design of the oscillation motion of hydroplane in dual system of lab-scale flapping type tidal energy harvester (FT-TEH).In dual system, two identical single systems of lab-scale FT-TEH are arranged cascade in the distance of a chord length of the hydroplane, wherein the flapping arm of each system is facing inward to each other. However, the pitch noses of hydroplanes are facing the same direction against the water flow. The controller is designed to control the motion of hydroplane such that each system is moving in synchronized motion to each other. Here, the system is using automatic gain controller with PID as the control feedback. Simulation and experiment results indicate that the controller of pitch oscillation for dual system of lab-scale FT-TEH is well implemented.
