摘要: In the present work, a spar-buoy scaled model was designed and built through “Lab-on-Sea” unit, equipped with an energy harvesting system. Such system is based on deformable bands, which are loyal to convert wave motion into electricity by means of piezo patch transducers. preliminary stage, model, suitable for tests in controlled ripples-type channel, tested order verify “fixed-point” assumption pitch roll motions and, consequently, optimize harvesting. A special type structure designed, numerically simulated, experimentally verified. The proposed solution represents advantageous compromise between lightness used materials amount recoverable energy. energy, obtained from transducers during simulations laboratory, found be enough self-sustain feasible on-board sensors remote data transmission
