This study investigates the integration of piezoelectric elements with marine buoys for the purpose of utilising wave energy in autonomous marine devices. The buoy system was subjected to controlled wave conditions during testing, resulting in a peak voltage of 5.6 V and a maximum power of 40 microW. The findings indicate the viability of the system in powering low-power marine equipment. The integration of piezoelectric elements into marine buoy systems offers a cost-effective hybrid solution, making it a promising power source for powering buoys and sensors in remote offshore environments.
