In the vast ocean, information is more valuable than energy. Real-time data on waves, currents, weather, and ecology is a crucial foundation for scientific research, engineering, shipping, and disaster prevention. However, traditional observation equipment often relies on manual maintenance or external power supplies, resulting in delayed data transmission and limited coverage. Our Wave Energy Glider, on the other hand, is acquiring ocean research data in a unique way.
The Wave Energy Glider utilizes a wave energy propulsion system for long-term autonomous navigation, independent of fuel or shore-based power. Combined with a low-power electronic control system and efficient energy management strategies, it can operate continuously at sea for months or even longer, steadily collecting surface and subsurface data. It can continuously complete the entire "collection-processing-transmission" chain without human intervention, making data acquisition smarter and more efficient.
In the acquisition of glider data, accuracy is a core competitive advantage. The glider is equipped with the company's independently developed nine-axis MEMS inertial measurement unit (IMU) and advanced inertial navigation algorithms, enabling precise monitoring of wave height, period, direction, and energy spectrum. A unique ocean dynamics algorithm effectively eliminates cumulative errors in solving differential equations and integrating acceleration and velocity, ensuring long-term high accuracy in attitude and displacement monitoring. Even at low frequencies (0.04 Hz), it can stably capture swell and wind wave information, enabling spectral separation and precise calculation of the energy directional spectrum.
In addition, the glider's data transmission system utilizes a highly reliable wireless communication solution, supporting real-time data reporting and remote control. Scientists and engineers on shore-based platforms can view wave energy distribution, tidal changes, and sea condition trends in real time, providing immediate information for decision-making. This "observe and transmit" capability makes the Wave Energy Glider a veritable "ocean data courier"-it not only collects data but also delivers this information quickly and securely to users.
Our Wave Energy Glider is designed with "high precision, low power consumption, and strong reliability" as its core design principles.
High Precision: Inertial fusion algorithms and attitude calculation technology ensure measurement errors of less than ±3%.
Low Power Consumption: Powered by a 3.3 V supply, current is less than 50 mA, significantly extending flight time.
Strong Reliability: Using a polymer float material and a corrosion-resistant casing, it can stably adapt to various complex sea conditions.
