This paper reports the performance of a 150W PV-wave hybrid system with battery storage in buoy. This system was originally designed to meet a new hybrid ower system for buoy in Korea. In the case or lighted buoys and lighthouses, a light failure alarm system of wireless radio is attached so that light failures are immediately notified to the office. At lighthouse offshore fixed lights and light buoys where commercial electricity is not available, the power source depends on solar system and batteries. This power system has a various problems. Therefore energy derived from the sunshine, wind and waves has been used as the energy source lot aids to navigation. Recently a hybrid system of combining the solar, wind and the wave generator is a favorable system lot the ocean facilities like lighthouse and buoy. The hybrid system in this paper is intended for variable DC load like light, communication system in the buoy and includes a PV-wane generation system and battery. This is composed a high efficiency charging algorithm, switching converter and controller. This paper includes discussion on system reliability, power quality, and effects of hybrid system in the buoy. Simulation and experimental results show excellent performance.

It has used buoy for efficient domestic farm operations and fishermen fish. Buoy uses IoT-based communication to transmit water temperature, salinity, humidity, wind speed, etc. to fishers in real time. In this paper, we utilize LoRa, which enables communication in the marine environment, to construct a network and apply it to an actual buoy for monitoring. The implemented LoRa uses the 900MHz band to configure the network. The sensor consisted of a sensor that can monitor the atmospheric environment and a sensor that can monitor the marine environment. In addition, the information received in real time will be provided to the fishing village host. The fishermen were fully aware of this and took appropriate measures to conduct sea trials.

Marine facilities like buoy, lighthouse are operated with stand alone power supply system. This power system can consist of a stand-alone type power system such as PV(Photovoltaic) system, wave system or hybrid system which is not cooperated with a commercial power system. Generally, PV power system for marine facilities can not supply a sufficient power to buoy, because it is so influenced from weather condition. For solving this problem the hybrid power system with PV and wave is studied on a various area, that is why a hybrid power system is requires to overcome these problems. This paper will describe a generation characteristic of WEC(Wave Energy Converter) for buoy, and an AFS(Anti-Fouling System) influence on WEC.

현재 우리나라에서 사용되고 있는 등부표의 종류는 10가지 정도이며, 부표 설계 및 개발의 대부분을 외국 기술에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 해상 계측 등이 가능한 소형 등부표의 개발을 목표로 소형 부표의 설계안을 제시하고 그 안전성을 수치적으로 검토하였다. 구체적으로는 다양한 실제 해상환경과 유사한 조우각과 선속 변화에 따른 내항성과 관련된 응답 진폭비, 부가저항 등의 값을 수치적으로 시뮬레이션하였다. 설계된 부표의 응답해석 결과, 종요응답비가 조우주파수의 증가에 따라 전체적으로 감소하는 특성을 확인하였다. 횡파에 대한 부가저항이 가장 크게 나타나는 것으로 분석되었고, 최종적으로 제시된 부표가 일정 조건하에서 응답 특성이 확보됨을 확인하였다.

There is a gradual increase in the need for energy charging in marine environments because of energy limitations experienced by electric ships and marine robots. Buoys are considered potential energy charging systems, but there are several challenges, which include the need to maintain a fixed position and avoid hazards, dock with ships and robots in order to charge them, be robust to actions by birds, ships, and robots. To solve these problems, this study proposes a smart buoy robot that has multiple thrusters, multiple docking and charging parts, a bird spike, a radar reflector, a light, a camera, and an anchor, and its mechanism is developed. To verify the performance of the smart buoy robot, the position control under disturbance due to wave currents and functional tests such as docking, charging, lighting, and anchoring are performed. Experimental results show that the smart buoy robot can operate under disturbances and is functionally effective. Therefore, the smart buoy robot is suitable as an energy charging system and has potential in realistic applications.

This paper describes a study for the buoy which should be operated by a stand-alone power system. The field of this study is related to a power system operated by two batteries which depends on the load power. The fluctuation of the voltages makes the life cycle of the battery shorten. The control algorithm has been proposed for reducing the voltage pulsation of the battery by operation strategy according to using purpose such as main or sub power supply system. The power system with battery is separated two parts and this has been proved through a simulation and a sea experiment. In order for the experiment to use a wireless monitoring system has been installed in buoy. This paper shows an excellent test result of wireless monitoring system for buoy.

Buoys are widely used in marine areas because they can mark positions and simultaneously acquire and exchange underwater, surface, and airborne information. Recently, the need for controlling and optimizing a buoy's position and attitude has been raised to achieve successful communication in a heterogeneous collaborative network composed of an underwater robot, a surface robot, and an airborne robot. A buoy in the form of a marine robot would be ideal to address this issue, as it can serve as a moving node of the communication network. Therefore, a buoy-based autonomous surface robot-kit with the abilities of sonar-based avoidance, dynamic position control, and static attitude control was developed and is discussed in this paper. The test and evaluation results of this kit show the possibility of real-world applications and the need for additional studies.

항로표지란 해상교통의 안전을 도모하고 선박운항의 능률성을 향상시키기 위한 해양교통안전시설로서 국제적으로 IALA 규정 및 권고사항에 따라 적용하고 있다. 그 중 "새로운 위험물(New Danger)"는 항해용 해도 등의 수로서지에 미기재된 것으로 새로이 발견된 위험장해물을 라고 정의하고 있으며, 사주나 암초 등의 자연적 장해물 또는 침선과 같은 인위적 장해물을 포함한다. 이러한 새로운 위험물은 측방표지, 방위표지, 고립장해표지 등을 이용하거나 비상침선표지(Emergency Wreck Marking Buoy)를 사용하여 적절하게 표시하여야 한다. 그러나, 침선표지의 경우 설치의 신속성, 정확성, 부표의 특성 등의 문제로 인해 실질적인 설치 운영상의 문제가 제기 되고 있으며, 선박 침몰 사고의 경우 기상악화, 해역의 특성, 사고 위치의 확인이 어려워 신속한 신위험물표지(New Danger Mark) 설치가 어려운 실정이다. 이 연구는 선박 상갑판에 부착된 소형 침선표지가 선박의 실종 전복 침몰 등 해양사고 발생 시 일정수압에 의해 자동으로 이탈(Auto Release) 후 자기 부상(Auto Buoyance)하여 사고 발생 지점에 신속하고 정확하게 설치되도록 하는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.

As a method to understand the ecological habits around the artificial reef, various reports such as fishing gear survey, diving, sound survey, underwater CCTV and camera, etc. are reported. Among them, the sound survey method is carried out by installing an acoustic system on the ship and can be investigated regardless of the marine environment such as time constraints and turbidity. Such method, however, takes a lot of manpower and time as the ship travels at a constant speed. Investigations around artificial reefs are being conducted in an artificial way, and a lot of time and labor are consumed as such. Maritime buoys have been operated for various purposes such as route signs, weather observation, marine environment monitoring and defense monitoring for navigation safety in the past, but studies on monitoring systems for ecological habits and distribution of fish using marine buoys are remarkably insufficient. Therefore, this study aims to develop a system that allows users to directly monitor fish group detector data by estimating the distribution of fish groups around artificial reefs and using wireless communication at sea. In order to confirm the suitability of the maritime buoy used in this study, it was operated to compare data using LTE-equipped buoys capable of wireless communication and a data logger-type system buoy. Data transmission of buoys capable of LTE communication was carried out in a 10-minute ON, 10-minute OFF method due to the limitation of the power supply capacity, and data of the data logger-type buoy received full data. We compared and analyzed the data received from the two fish detectors. It is expected that real-time monitoring of the wireless buoy detection device using LTE will be possible through future research.
