Rancang bangun dan uji coba instrumen sistem buoy menggunakan A-WSN protokol zigbee di perairan pesisir

Abstract

Ocean observation has become a challenge due to it's vast and rough condition. Limited access and unpredictable weather makes the ocean observation require a good plan. Understanding about the sea and its phenomenon is a key factor for many fields including climatology, fisheries, port management, coastal management, national resilience, public health institution, environmental assessment, and oil and gas company. Coastal ecosystem consisting of estuary, mangrove and seagrass are the ecosystem which has high primary productivity and many ecological functions. Each component in coastal ecosystem is closely related. Human activity put stress on this environment and makes it very fragile. Mooring buoy has been used as one of the options to monitor ocean autonomously. In this study, the instruments and telemetry system are installed in a specially designed buoy for automatic sampling. Mooring buoy has succeed in global climate study, for example is TAO/TRITON bouy. However the big dimension in the existing buoy system is not suitable for coastal ecosystem monitoring. Energy efficient system in Aerial Wireless Sensor Network (A-WSN) is applicable for coastal ecosystem monitoring buoy system. A small-size instrument, low cost, and durable can become ideal solution for a mooring buoy system, and also has advantage in term of spatial and temporal resolution. This research aim is to develop six mooring buoy instrument based on A-WSN ZigBee protocol for monitoring sea surface temperature. The design and construction of buoy platform has shown good stability both in static and dynamic test. The remaining 6 kg carrying capacity of the buoy is available from total 23 kg buoyancy for additional instrument. A-WSN performance shows 100% successful in data transmitting for static test. Dynamic test shows good performance with 100% success ratio for R1, 99.91% for R2, 84.94% for E1, 99.57% for E2, and 100% for E3. Power consumption analysis has been done for battery endurance test. The results are 39.7 hours for coordinator, 39.8 hours for router, and 87.8 hours for end device. The sea trial of the buoy shown a good performance for sea surface temperature monitoring in Panggang Island, Seribu Islands
