摘要：The article represents a new idea about an innovative, simple and cost effective marine energy harvester for powering offshore sensor nodes working as part of Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN). Betterment of these aqua farms by including these into wireless sensor network so that they could be remote controlled from far land, is needed to make this offshore farming more popular. For this step to be done one major concern is the powering process of the sensor nodes used as the key part of sensing or monitoring purpose of the offshore projects. So our study focuses on the design and numerical study of a wave energy harvesting device for supplying uninterrupted electric power to offshore sensor nodes serving as part of ocean environment monitoring network or any marine aquaculture farm. Analysis of the environmental and device sizing factors that makes the efficiency to deviate, have been discussed here. It is a novel, floating type, double chambered wave energy converter that uses the Oscillating Water Column technology for conversion of wave power into electrical power.
