Optimal Design and Analysis of Small Solar Wave Buoy
In order to solve the problems of limited power storage of small wave measuring buoys,inability to serve at sea for a long time,and high maintenance costs that must be regularly towed ashore for manual charging,a new type of solar wave-meas-uring buoy was designed.A flexible solar panel and its transparent protective cover were added,and the fixing method of the solar panel was optimized.A three-dimensional simulation model was established by Inventor.The stability and hydrodynamic analysis of the buoy body were conducted respectively using Masurf and HydroStar.The sea trial experiments were carried out,showing that the daily average power output of the newly installed solar panels can reach 5.29 Ah,which can meet the daily needs of the buoy.The overall performance of the optimized new buoy has been effectively improved.
