On the issue of calculation of an autonomous marine power plant for energy supply of an underwater docking station

Object and purpose of research. The object of work is an autonomous offshore power plant designed to provide energy to the underwater docking station. The aim is to develop the basics of the methodology for calculating the electric generator of an autonomous offshore power plant, placed in a capsule with a conical nozzle – a diffuser. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of analytical methods for calculating electromechanical systems designed for energy supply of resident underwater robots and robotic complexes. Main results. The basics of the methodology for calculating the basic parameters of a synchronous generator of ring structure with magnetoelectric excitation, which converts the energy of the sea current into electrical energy transmitted to the underwater dock station for charging batteries, have been developed. The developed system of power supply of the underwater docking station is protected by a patent of the Russian Federation. Conclusion. The results of the development and research expand the possibilities of choosing the optimal option for the energy supply system of underwater docking stations and contribute to the acceleration of the process of their implementation in practice.
