The benefits of solar panels to the lighthouse

In the highly developed science and technology, social progress increasingly today, technology has gradually applied in Marine communication, navigation, positioning, promotion and application of GPS and DGPS technology, in particular, has been popular with the mariners, the lighthouse as a traditional marker, its role has gradually weakened, people dependent on the lighthouse is greatly reduced. But the lighthouse as a traditional visual AIDS, also has the characteristics of intuitive, easy to find, this is incomparable by radio beacon, especially those sailing experience more rich maritime people used to use visual AIDS, therefore as visual AIDS to navigation beacon still has a certain value. So it is necessary for us to proper modification, a beacon to adapt to the demands of the development of AIDS to navigation using solar panels power should be a better way.

Trinidad rock lighthouse as a level 1 manned large lighthouse, the construction scale is larger, complete supporting facilities, Qingdao of beacon place every year a lot of manpower and material resources to unattended beacon and maintenance. Qingdao marker beacon is engaged in the system reform since 1997, thousands of rock lighthouse took the island rotating way, two people per shift, per shift island work about two months, that is to say, once every two months to ship to shift. This from an economic point of view to spend large sum of money.

in foreign countries, such as thousands of rock lighthouse island lighthouse, many countries have adopted are unattended beacon, they adopted advanced technology, to realize the unattended beacon. In our country, because our country's national quality is not high, although has the ability to realize unattended beacon, but considering the national quality and so on many issues, temporary also cannot implement unattended, unattended conditions are not mature enough, can only consider a little unattended, step by step to make the transition to unattended.

to implement unattended less, we need to do first is to reduce the labor intensity, power supply method of changing the past, can no longer oil machine power supply, to take advantage of new energy to change the past methods of power supply, solar power do not break is a good new energy. Here recommend the use of solar energy, the main advantage of using solar energy in the following aspects:

1, the photovoltaic power station has been widely used by the department of AIDS to navigation in the region, mainly used in the light of pile, some beacon has been used in the lamp on the buoys and the lighthouse, at present the various aspects of solar energy technology has been very perfect, rarely fails. In Qingdao, Qingdao at all unattended beacon lights and dagong island lighthouse adopt solar power supply, its use effect is affirmative, is also very satisfactory.

2, solar power, although the people of disposable money is bigger, but little subsequent input, almost negligible, we have to do is check the battery electrolyte adequacy, whether need to add the electrolyte. With oil machine power supply will need to use diesel about 15 20 tons a year, if coupled with a variety of expenses such as freight, will more pay every year.

3, greatly reduce the labor intensity of the worker. Oil machine power supply, every day just black start the machine oil generating power supply, and then in order to guarantee the normal work of the oil machine, aerial technology requires two staff on duty by turns on, the wee hours, worker to guarantee the normal work of the oil machine, can't have the slightest slack during on duty.
