DESIGN AND SIMULATION OF ANTICORROSION SCHEME OF OBSERVATION BUOY FOR WAVE POWER PLANT
In this paper,a wave energy power observation buoy is divided into different fouling areas by analyzing its working principle,motion characteristics and corrosion environment of each system.Firstly,through considering the current anti-corrosion methods,the complex marine corrosion environment of buoys,cost and construction efficiency,a corrosion protection method combining anti-corrosion paint coating and catholic protection is proposed.Based on which,an anti-corrosion system with impressed current catholic protection and key parameters are designed.Furthermore,numerical simulations are carried out and reveal that better anti-corrosion effect can be achieved by setting the above anti-corrosion system along the flank of the main buoy.
