Real-time hazard map: Collecting and analyzing flood prediction data from rivers.
Since it oscillates back and forth, debris and floating objects like garbage and grass are less likely to get tangled. It can generate power even in shallow rivers. It serves as a low-cost flow meter for flood prediction without the need for an external power source.
Hydro-VENUS generates electricity by slowly oscillating a sturdy pendulum. Its simple shape compared to propellers provides high strength and makes it less likely to entangle debris or weeds. It can be used as a flow meter by utilizing the principle that the amount of electricity generated changes according to the flow rate. Since it is a generator itself, it does not require an external power source, making it low-cost, and it can efficiently generate electricity even in shallow rivers and waterways as long as the pendulum's amplitude is sufficient. It is being deployed in many small to medium-sized rivers where flow meters and water level gauges for river management are not installed, and by utilizing AI with the flow rate data collected, a system for wide-area flood prediction is under development. 【Features】 ■ Low manufacturing costs due to easy production with a simple structural design ■ The pendulum structure is durable and easy to maintain ■ Achieves an overwhelmingly low-cost flow meter for river management compared to conventional methods ■ Developing a flood prediction system using AI with big data on flow rates *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF to view.
