Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of marine aquaculture technology, and more particularly to a method for constructing a smart marine ranch on uninhabited islands and reefs. Background Art

[0002] In the current field of marine aquaculture, there are many problems and challenges, such as unstable ocean energy supply, depletion of offshore fishery resources and insufficient modernization of aquaculture technology, which limit the sustainable development and efficiency improvement of the marine aquaculture industry.

[0003] First, unstable offshore energy supply is a major challenge facing marine aquaculture. Traditional marine aquaculture facilities typically rely on conventional energy sources, such as fuel-fired power generation or grid power. However, in marine ranching areas far from land, unstable and unreliable energy supplies increase the cost and difficulty of operating and managing aquaculture facilities, significantly limiting the expansion of aquaculture facilities and increasing their efficiency, increasing operating costs and environmental risks, and hindering the upgrading of the marine aquaculture industry structure.

[0004] Secondly, the depletion of offshore fisheries is another pressing issue. Traditional fishing methods and environmental pollution have led to overexploitation and damage to fisheries, resulting in the depletion of fisheries and the collapse of ecosystems. Furthermore, the growing practice of marine aquaculture, as an emerging fishery method, urgently requires modern equipment and technology to provide sustainable aquaculture resources and meet human demand for seafood.

[0005] Furthermore, the lack of modern, intelligent, and precise farming technology has led to problems with traditional farming methods, including limited space, environmental pollution, and the spread of disease. Furthermore, farming management is highly dependent on manual labor, requiring significant manpower and high costs.

[0006] Therefore, it is an urgent problem for technical personnel in this field to propose a method for building smart marine ranches on uninhabited islands and reefs, build smart marine ranches on uninhabited islands to solve the energy and ecological problems of marine aquaculture, and promote the upgrading of the marine industry and the development of the marine economy.

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for constructing a smart marine ranch on uninhabited islands and reefs, comprising:

[0030] Comprehensively utilize wind, solar, and ocean energy to build a multi-energy power generation system to power the marine ranch. Use excess electricity to electrolyze seawater to produce hydrogen, and then make hydrogen batteries as energy reserves.

[0031] Use machine learning and artificial intelligence to build energy supply and demand models, assess energy production and consumption, establish energy storage, transmission and supply networks, and allocate power to marine ranches through energy allocation systems;

[0032] Building fish habitats and aquaculture systems based on the byproducts of seawater electrolysis;

[0033] Build an unmanned operation and management system based on big data, cloud computing and the Internet of Things to collect, analyze and monitor data in real time, and output automated breeding control and optimization decisions.

[0034] The energy supply and demand model and energy allocation system are based on the electricity consumed by the entire island aquaculture system, as well as the electricity generated by wind, tidal, and wave power, and are built through deep neural network training. The energy assessment and allocation process utilizes AI-based forecasting services. When the system identifies excess electricity production, it uses seawater electrolysis to produce hydrogen and stores the excess electricity. When power is insufficient, the stored electricity is transferred to the aquaculture system.

[0035] Furthermore, the system also includes a system for constructing uninhabited island and reef bases. This system selects suitable uninhabited islands for aquaculture and marine ranching management through a comprehensive analysis of coastal typhoon paths, ocean currents, and ecological safety factors. These bases provide ample space and resources for the layout and operation of aquaculture facilities. Based on historical typhoon data, ocean current movement data, and ecological and environmental data surrounding the islands and reefs, a site selection safety model is established through deep learning. Algorithmic analysis is then applied to predict the suitability of islands and reefs for aquaculture. The selection criteria are low typhoon rates, stable ocean current paths, and a surrounding environment that poses no threat to aquaculture.

[0036] Furthermore, the multi-energy power generation system uses wind energy, solar energy and ocean energy to generate electricity to ensure the power supply of the breeding, management and monitoring systems. The electricity is supplied to the breeding, monitoring, allocation and power systems. Renewable energy has the advantages of low cost, environmental protection and short distance, and is the energy guarantee for marine ranches.

[0037] Furthermore, the method of utilizing surplus electricity to electrolyze seawater to produce hydrogen and create hydrogen batteries for energy storage involves utilizing surplus electricity to electrolyze seawater to produce hydrogen when the multi-energy generation system is saturated. The generated hydrogen is stored in the hydrogen batteries as an energy reserve. When the multi-energy generation system is undercapacity, the hydrogen batteries are discharged to meet the energy needs of the marine ranch. This energy supply allocation solution ensures a sustainable and stable supply of clean energy for the entire marine ranch.

[0038] Furthermore, the energy storage, transmission, and supply network and dispatch system utilizes machine learning and artificial intelligence to build energy supply and demand models, accurately assessing energy production and consumption. A clean energy storage, transmission, and supply network is established, effectively delivering generated energy through circuits to the breeding, management, and monitoring systems. The energy dispatch system coordinates power supply across the ranch, ensuring a stable supply of clean energy and reducing reliance on traditional energy sources.

[0039] Furthermore, the construction of fish habitats and aquaculture systems based on the byproducts of seawater electrolysis includes utilizing oxygen from the byproducts as the oxygen supply for the aquaculture system and utilizing calcium carbonate from the byproducts to construct artificial coral reefs. This construction includes constructing a calcium carbonate skeleton using calcium carbonate, planting corals on the skeletons, and performing modular installation to promote coral growth and complete ecological restoration. The artificial coral reefs create a suitable habitat for fish. Furthermore, through research on fish behavior, methods are developed to attract and protect fishery resources and achieve sustainable fishing. Reasonable habitat design and management can improve the reproduction and protection of fishery resources.

[0040] Furthermore, the system also includes intelligent lifting cages. These cages are designed based on marine engineering structures. Field testing of the design loads and responses under the combined effects of wind, waves, and currents determines the structure and parameters, enhancing wind and wave resistance and safety and reliability. These cages can automatically adjust their depth based on specific needs, providing a suitable aquaculture environment for fish and protecting them from typhoons.

[0041] In the natural ocean environment, the lifting cage is affected by objective factors such as wind, waves and currents, which causes the sinking speed of each floating tube compartment to be inconsistent during the sinking process, resulting in the lifting cage not being able to completely sink underwater. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively consider these factors and determine the optimal structure and parameters through repeated experimental demonstration and simulation so that it can be smoothly lifted and lowered by adaptive or manual assistance.

[0042] Furthermore, the construction of an unmanned operation and management system includes: based on big data, cloud computing and Internet of Things technologies, collecting data from the breeding process through sensors and monitoring equipment, analyzing and processing the data, and optimizing the breeding environment based on the analysis results, predicting fish growth and providing decision support.

[0043] Leveraging the mariculture big data analysis and decision-making model and the smart mariculture big data analysis and cloud service platform, we will integrate sensors, smart terminals, remote sensing equipment and methods, and apply big data and cloud computing technologies to build a decision-making knowledge base, model library, method library, expert library, and pathogen library. This will provide analytical decision-making models for fish feeding, stocking density, and risk assessment, offering farmers services such as intelligent monitoring of the aquaculture environment, intelligent feeding, intelligent disease diagnosis, and intelligent management of the aquaculture process.

[0044] Furthermore, the Internet of Things technology includes an Internet of Things control terminal, which uses Internet of Things technology to interconnect devices and share data, and realizes unmanned operation and management through remote monitoring, automatic control and intelligent decision support system.

[0045] Furthermore, the IoT control terminal collects biological, electrical, and hydrological information. The biological information is collected via high-definition cameras and sonar, while the hydrological information is collected via an environmental monitoring terminal. The hydrological information includes dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrogen and oxygen content, temperature, salinity, and turbulence. The terminal equipment includes aerators and bait dispensers, among others. The electrical information includes power production values, power reserves, and capacity forecasts. This biological, electrical, and hydrological information is transmitted to a cloud server via a 5G network. The monitoring and management center includes a control computer and storage devices, and the remote control device includes a computer and a mobile phone. The remote control device controls and manages the operation of the marine ranch in real time. The monitoring and management center and the remote control are connected to the cloud server via a 5G network. The biological, electrical, and hydrological information are communicated with the monitoring and management center via the cloud server. The monitoring and management center intelligently controls the terminal devices via the IoT control terminal.

[0050] S4: Energy Storage, Transmission, and Supply Network Construction: Establish a clean energy storage, transmission, and supply network and monitoring and dispatch system to ensure the reliable supply of energy generated by power generation to the breeding, management, and monitoring systems. Through reasonable energy storage, transmission facilities, and network architecture, a stable supply of clean energy is guaranteed.

[0051] S5: Fish Habitat Creation: Attract and protect fishery resources by artificially creating suitable habitats for fish. For example, designing and installing artificial reefs or underwater structures to provide the necessary environmental conditions for fish growth, reproduction, and habitat.

[0052] S6: Application of intelligent aquaculture management systems: Leveraging big data, cloud computing, and IoT technologies, intelligent aquaculture management is achieved. Sensors and monitoring equipment collect data from the aquaculture process, analyze and process the data, and implement automated aquaculture control and optimization decisions based on the analysis results.
