Despite the difference lies between onshore and offshore environment, as well as the power output characteristics, the PV(Photovoltaic) power generation system is designed by the independent onshore power generation system standards. Furthermore, the capacity of PV power generation system does not take into account the structural characteristics of the buoy in the sea. Therefore, the faulty design makes battery over-discharge owing to lack of the power generation and the battery can not supply stable power to the light. This paper introduces a design method for a power system of the PV powered buoy. The data has been acquired for 3 months period, which includes PV-generated electricity, power consumption and battery voltage from experimental buoy. Further, a power management features of the buoy has been analyzed based on the acquired data. From the analysis of the acquired data, it was evident that PV power generation system produces different electric power output depend on its installed environment - land and sea. Based on the analytical result, a design criterion has been proposed for the power system in the navigational buoy.Key words :PV power system, Buoy, Power system, Design criterion, Independent power system, Ocean facility* 연회원, 119sky1004@naver.com 051)410-4866†교신저자 : 종신회원, Ojs@hhu.ac.kr 051)410-4283

Anti-Fouling System for Oscillating Water Column in Buoy

The ouput power of wave energy system in buoy is determined according to the inner diameter of oscillating water column and flow resistance. The increase of adhered shellfish inside the water column leads to decrease the inner diameter of wave energy converter. Influx loss of seawater reduces the efficiency of output power in the wave generation system. In this paper, the test result of AFS characteristic is described for preventing the deposition with shellfish and etc. The current of anode is controlled by buck converter, and the control algorithm developed for AFS in buoy. The experimental results is shown excellent preventing capapbility of AFS in buoy.

Design of Auto Feed Supply System for Fish Farm

Water pollution of coast has a significant impact on the fish farm and fisheries. For solving the water pollution problems the fish farms are moving to the open sea. The fish farms in open sea have to operate by the automatic feeding system and remote monitoring system for safety and management. This paper describes an automatic feeding system for fish farms in open sea. Water temperature and fish weight will change depending on the amount of feed. And the fish farm temperature is changed extremely in open sea than on land side. This paper described that the feed amount is calculated automatically according to temperature, fish weight, and the automatic feed system. And the performance of automatic feed system is verified with test model for operation test.
