The disclosure relates to a system for precession control and/or energy recuperation in a gyrostabiliser, the system comprising: a gyrostabiliser having a flywheel mounted for rotation about a spin axis in a gimbal frame that is configured to be mounted in a vessel to be stabilised, wherein the gimble frame includes a precession shaft on which the gyrostabiliser rotates about an axis as the gyrostabiliser operates to stabilise the vessel; and an energy conversion arrangement operatively coupled to the precession shaft for converting the rotational movement of the precession shaft to electrical energy. The energy conversion arrangement is configured or adapted for operation in an energy generation mode when a precession rate of the gyrostabiliser is relatively high; e.g., in large wave conditions. The energy conversion arrangement is preferably configured for operation in one of two modes, including: (i) an energy generation mode for generating electrical energy from rotational movement of the precession shaft, and (ii) a braking mode for applying a braking force to the rotational movement of the precession shaft.
