  5. 4. Design and Development of a Data Acquisition and Communication System for Point Absorber Tracking

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Balakrishnan Kannan; [2021]
    Keywords : Data Acquisition System; Raspberry Pi; Controller; Processor; Wave buoy; Lysekil; wave energy; measurements; IMU; GPS; Strain gauge; force; Solar energy; Battery; communication; 4G; internet; Remote tracking; Shell; Python;

    Abstract : The recent trend in generating energy from the waves has led to several advancements in the methods and the various research is conducted across the world, to study the behaviour of point absorbers on the waves. The point absorbers such as wave buoys are designed to move according to the waves and the generator that is mechanically coupled with the buoys, generate electricity. READ MORE
