This paper represents a solution for avoiding a common hurdle of harvesting ocean energy using Oscillating Water Column that, though being an efficient technology OWC based harvesters often suffers from performance disruption due to rough sea weather. The solution reveals an idea for a completely closed, double chambered, half water filled oscillating water column with two bidirectional air turbines inside, which shows efficient performance in the bad weather condition as well as in general. The system has the unique feature that, it produces electric power without any interaction with outside ocean water or atmospheric pressure and having a simple, closed structure that can be build using the lower vessel type part of any old ship or boat, adds extra facilities like cost effectiveness and less maintenance effort. Offshore ocean environment monitoring wireless sensor network or floating projects like fish farm can use this system for powering the sensor nodes used for measuring temperature, ph buffer, salinity.
