Free-floating system and device for the directional characterisation of surface waves

Abstract

[ES] La presente invención es un dispositivo de libre flotación para la caracterización direccional del oleaje que comprende una selección de los siguientes elementos: sensores capaces de medir en tres ejes ortogonales la aceleración, la velocidad angular y el campo magnético de la Tierra, un localizador GNSS, un módulo electrónico, un módulo de telecomunicaciones, elementos de acumulación y/o captación de energía, un recipiente flotante y estanco para contener a los equipos mencionados y con una geometría optimizada para seguir la inclinación de la superficie de una masa de agua que es agitada por las olas. Además se ha previsto que la información proceniente de los sensores y del localizador GNSS sea gestionada por el módulo electrónico y enviada por el módulo de telecomunicaciones a una estación base remota. Al no estar fondeado, caracteriza la direccionalidad del oleaje superficial de forma más precisa, operativa y económicamente eficiente que los sistemas actuales.

[EN] The invention relates to a free-floating device for the directional characterisation of waves, comprising a selection of the following elements: sensors that can measure the earth's acceleration, angular velocity and magnetic field along three orthogonal axes; a GNSS positioning system; an electronic module; a telecommunications module; energy collection and/or storage elements; and a sealed floating container for housing the aforementioned equipment, having an optimised shape so as to follow the slope of the surface of a body of water disturbed by waves. In addition, the information from the sensors and the GNSS positioning system is managed by the electronic module and sent by the telecommunications module to a remote base station.; Since the device is not anchored, it can characterise the direction of the surface waves more precisely, with improved operability and in a more economically efficient manner than current systems.
