Faculty of Engineering/University of Kerbala has discussed the M.A. thesis which is entitled “Absorbing Coastal Hurricanes Using Smart Balloon Powered by a Wind Turbine Generator System”.
The thesis, submitted by , Sarah Ghanem Obaid Al-Husseini includes design and simulation of an smart system to manage and operate a cylindrical balloon made of special materials that automatically acts as a buffer against raging water for purpose of absorbing sudden momentum of marine water hammers caused by coastal waves using fuzzy logic control and advanced control methods to control speed of air pumps, to ensure the air tank is full in normal and emergency conditions.
The thesis recommends the possibility of adopting the model proposed to protect people or residential complexes near water sources and coastal waves when strong winds blow or during peak coastal waters.
