Autonomous Marine Monitoring System Based on Energy Convertor

Abstract:

A new marine monitoring system is introduced in this paper. This study is based on a taut single point mid-water mooring instrument which is packaged into a two-float assembly, with the lower float containing several times as much buoyancy as the upper float. During the system working in ocean water, an energy conserving transmission is designed under energy-balance principle. Battery pack and motor can supplement the energy dissipation which was engendered during the movement of observation vector in water. From this research, single sensor fixed on platform can meet the requirements of vertical profile measurement. Compared with other single-point marine monitoring system, the proposed system has the benefits both in technique and economy.
