Design and experimental test of a low costweather buoy

Abstract: Abstract-The importance of prevention plans based on realistic inundation scenarios was dramatically highlighted by the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 26 December 2004. But also in the Mediterranean, sea storms basin are a quite common event especially during winter months. These scenarios are generally based on numerical models of tsunami wave propagation that can become more realistic and effective when calibrated with the distribution of true data acquired by special weather buoy. In this paper we present the resu… Show more

“…For this reason, we evaluated the scenario of electrical energy production from sea wave and offshore photovoltaic along the Sicilian coastline, thanks to the use of an innovative energy converter (see Figure 10), realized by DEIM of the University of Palermo. This point absorber converts wave energy directly into electrical, without the use of an external electrical input, intermediate devices, or polluting fluids, with high levels of efficiency [44]. DEIM converter is composed by two floating buoys.…”

“…In the first one, each point absorber contains an energy converter able to produce an AC electrical output that can flow into the electrical grid. In the second solution, the electrical energy produced by each point absorber is firstly converted into a DC output; the energy produced by several buoys is converted to This point absorber converts wave energy directly into electrical, without the use of an external electrical input, intermediate devices, or polluting fluids, with high levels of efficiency [44].

“…The use of real data which came from an experimental measurement campaign is fundamental to validate software and previous works, despite the high cost of these devices. However, during these years, different authors have focused their attention on the design of low cost weather buoys, in order to reduce their costs, increasing their use in the Mediterranean sea [21]. The Nortek AWAC was able to measure all the main parameters that characterize the wave environment: peak period T p (in seconds), significant wave height H s (in meters), and main direction D p .…”
