Abstract

After some period of time, the marine traffic facilities find problems caused by shellfish adhered to inside and inlet of the water column. Therefore, single-channel AFS(Anti-Fouling System) has been applied in order to minimize the deposition of shellfish. However, imbalance phenomenon of ionization of copper electrodes that are used for single-channel AFS appeared. This problem resulted in frequent replacement of anode. In this paper, multi-channel current control system has been developed, as well as the related hardware has been designed and fabricated. Further, experimental study has been undertaken to compare the application of single and multi- channel AFS. Through the sea experiments, it was possible to confirm that the copper electrode used for multi-channel AFS is uniformly ionized.

최근 일정기간 해상에서 운용된 해양교통시설물은 수주와 파도 유입구에 해조류 증착이 발생되어, 파력발전 효율이 감소되는 문제점이 발생하였다. 따라서 해조류 증착을 억제하고자 단일채널 AFS(Anti-Fouling System)를 적용하였다. 그러나 단일채널 AFS에 이용된 구리 전극봉의 이온화 불균형 현상이 나타났다. 구리 전극봉의 이온화 불균형은 전극봉의 교환시기를 앞 당겨, 잦은 전극봉의 교체가 필요한 문제가 발생하였다. 본 논문에서는 다 채널 전류제어 방식을 이용한 해양교통시설물용 다채널 AFS의 알고리즘을 만들고, 하드웨어를 설계, 제작하였다. 그리고 기존의 단일채널 AFS와 다채널 AFS의 실 해역실험을 통해 제어방식에 따른 구리 전극봉 이온화 차이를 확인할 수 있는 비교 실험을 진행하였다. 실 해역실험결과 다채널 AFS에 이용된 구리 전극봉이 균일하게 이온화 되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
