Compact Low-Velocity Ocean Current Energy Harvester Using Magnetic Couplings for Long-Term Scientific Seafloor Observation

Longxiang Huang and Feng Lyu    

Resumen

A compact low-velocity ocean current energy harvester (LOCH) is developed to power undersea instrument platforms for long-term scientific seafloor observation. Noncontact magnetic couplings are used in the LOCH to eliminate friction and achieve reliable underwater sealing so that the LOCH can adapt the low-velocity ocean current and its energy transmission efficiency can be improved. The parameters of the magnetic couplings are optimized by the three-dimensional finite-element method (3D FEM). A laboratory experiment platform is designed; and the static and dynamic performances of the magnetic couplings with different parameters are tested. The experiment results are compared with computer simulations to verify the optimal parameter design. Finally; a prototype of the LOCH is designed and its underwater experiment proves that it can start smoothly and work stably at a current velocity of as low as 0.4 m/s
