Resumen:
Sea waves energy harvesting energy is a very promising energy source. Pioneered by Wiercigroch a pendulum system would be feasible for such an energy harvesting purpose. These devices consist of a pendulum with a vertical motion induced by sea waves motion. As it is well known, pendulum´s stable rotations generate enough energy extracted by an electrical generator attached to its axis. In this paper, using a brushless dc motor as an input torque to maintain stable pendulum rotations], a singular optimal control formalism provides a very simple control law. A salient property of the resulting control law lies in its very simple hardware implementation bang-bang control: only sign is needed using Arduino and operational ampliers or even asymptotic stability. Conclusions and future work are also depicted.
