Description

Smart Farm Apparatus Using Offshore Wind Turbine, And Operating Method Thereof

The present invention relates to a smart farm using an offshore wind power generator and a method for operating the same, and more particularly, to a smart farm using an offshore wind power generator mounted on an upper part of a base pillar installed on a seabed foundation and a method for operating the same. .

In general, aquaculture by seawater can be largely divided into land tank culture and marine cage culture. The terrestrial tank aquaculture is a method of artificially controlling the habitat environment by moving target organisms to a terrestrial tank, and the offshore cage aquaculture is a method of cultivating target organisms with a net in a wide space of the sea. Unlike terrestrial tank aquaculture, marine cage aquaculture does not need to exchange seawater, and fish can be cultivated in large quantities, which is a growing trend.

In these marine cage aquaculture, feeding is generally achieved by spraying or dumping feed directly at sea by a person.

However, in offshore cage aquaculture, manual feed supply is almost impossible when the weather conditions are not good, and when cage aquaculture is done in the remote sea far from the land, there is a problem that people have to move long distances every day for feeding.

In addition, since feed is supplied by hand, in the case of large-scale farms, a large number of workers are required, which is expensive for aquaculture, and there is a problem that it is impossible to go out for a long time because feed must be supplied every day.

In addition, because the feed once administered by a person floats in the sea for a certain period of time, absorbs moisture and settles on the sea floor. There is a problem.

Accordingly, there is a need for a technique capable of solving the above-mentioned problems according to the prior art.

As mentioned above, manual feeding in marine cage aquaculture according to the prior art is almost impossible when the weather conditions are bad, and when cage aquaculture is done in the remote sea far from the land, people have to travel long distances every day for feeding. There was a problem that had to move. In addition, since feed is supplied by hand, in the case of large-scale farms, a large number of workers are required, which is expensive for aquaculture, and there is a problem that it is impossible to go out for a long time because feed must be supplied every day. In addition, because the feed once administered by a person floats in the sea for a certain period of time, absorbs moisture and settles on the sea floor. There was a problem.

In addition, since the cost of the farm is managed by a small number of people, feed can not be fed frequently in small amounts, which lowers the efficiency of feed supply, and the lost feed causes marine pollution problems. On the other hand, according to the present invention, it is possible to feed small amounts by automatic control, thereby minimizing feed loss, and a form control center capable of automatically calculating the aquaculture process from the received environmental growth information and a control unit that automatically drives the received process command. can be connected remotely by wireless communication to automatically control the aquaculture process, minimizing the loss of labor. In addition, the wireless communication module 151 of the aquaculture control center 150 can communicate with the manager's mobile phone when necessary, thereby maximizing the efficiency of the aquaculture process management.

On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present invention, by having a water tank unit 110 , a feed storage tank 120 , a feed supply unit 130 , and a control unit 140 having a specific structure, a base pillar installed on a tripod foundation The farm can be operated by using the offshore wind power generator mounted on the upper part of (A-2), and the management of the farm and the fish breeding technology can be implemented by the manager, so that the problems according to the prior art can be solved as well as the offshore It is possible to provide a smart farm that can achieve the effect of preventing ground subsidence by improving the water flow around the wind power generator and its operation method.
