Development of Components for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles by Design for Excellence Concepts| Chapter 5 | Techniques and Innovation in Engineering Research Vol. 7

 Currently, the strength sector is placing allure bets on seaward wind power, which engages wind turbines with fixed and buoyant platforms. The use of interventive autonomous submerged vehicles (AUV) to assist in the support and control of underwater structures can considerably benefit this technology. A wireless plate system, which admits the AUV to charge its batteries by way of a docking station, can extend moment of truth the AUV remains underwater. The current work specifies the development of a wireless plate housing component for a Wi-Fi charging system expected implemented in an AUV (WCH). This product was devised using the design for superiority and modular design principles. The Ashby procedure was used to select appropriate materials. A linear changeless finite element reasoning was used to validate the originals' structural performance (FEA). The results revealed that using FEA in conjunction with clear design goals allows for WCH growth while ensuring until 75% power efficiency.
