TEAMER: Initial Testing of Wave Energy-Powered UV-C LED Anti-Biofouling System, Post-Access Report, 3newable LLC

Description

Biofouling severely limits the quality of data coming from buoy-mounted sensors. 3newable is co-developing a unique solution to the biofouling problem together with the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) at WHOI to design and build a buoy-mounted WEC as an integrated power source for a UV-C LED module. The LED module will be designed to retrofit for operation on existing sensors, at optimized wavelength/power/duty-cycle/on-time, and with built-in redundancy. This submission provides a description of data products produced during the 3newables LLC. Data are primarily comprised of imagery, quantitative biofouling mass, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Project is part of the TEAMER RFTS 2 (request for technical support) program.
