Drilling operations need to maintain automatic positioning of the platform in the horizontal-plane within the safe zone. Operating DP systems typically require highly responsive control systems when encountering prevailing weather conditions. However, DP incident analysis demonstrates that control and thruster failures have been the leading causes of accidents for the past two decades, according to the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA). In this paper, a Predictive Neural Network (PNN) strategy is proposed for thruster allocation on a platform; it has been developed by predicting the platform response and training the network to transform the required force commands from a nonlinear Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) motion controller for each thruster. The strategy is developed for increasing safety and zone keeping of DP-assisted-drilling operations in harsh weather. This is done by allowing the platform to recover the position more rapidly whilst decreasing the risk of losing the platform position and heading, which can lead to catastrophic damage. The operational performance of the DP system on a drilling platform subjected to the North Sea real environmental conditions of wind, currents and waves, is simulated with the model incorporating the PNN control algorithm, which deals with dynamic uncertainties, into the unstable conventional PID control system for a current drilling semi-submersible model. The simulation results demonstrate the improvement in DP accuracy and robustness for the semi-submersible drilling platform positioning and performance using the PNN strategy.","PeriodicalId":23502,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Offshore Technology","volume":"778 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82893457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most of the software capable of running these kinds of simulations are very expensive, and these simulations usually take a long time to be made. It is then very convenient to develop a simplified model, capable of running these analyses in a short period of time while still providing us with reliable results.\u0000 This model was developed using the Python programming language, where a fourth-order Runge Kutta method was implemented to solve the equation of motions that governs the manifold’s installation process. The assumptions are that the wave forces are applied to the ship executing the manifold installation. The ship’s motions were applied at the top of the cable, connected to the crane, so the manifold motions underwater and the cable tension could be calculated.\u0000 Previously, a simplified one-degree of freedom (1DoF) model was developed and compared to other numerical models and experimental data. In this present work, the model was then expanded to motions in a vertical plane, that is, three degrees of freedom (3 DoF), in order to better represent the physics of the real problem. Its results were then compared to the ones obtained by the 1 DoF model and to the experimental results. The 3 DoF model resulted in a dynamic response closer to the ones observed in the experiments, which shows that it is a better representation of the problem.","PeriodicalId":23502,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Offshore Technology","volume":"332 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83828346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cities now have better quality of life, and they are now crucial hubs for human existence. The increase in urbanization of Indian cities was facilitated by this influx of people. Prosperity and changing lifestyles brought about by a booming economy made reliance on private vehicles essential. The total demand for travel has accelerated along with population expansion and increased car ownership, but the supply side has lagged behind demand and there are numerous external variables associated to transportation, such as accidents, congestion, pollution, inequality, etc. Promoting and promoting sustainability is important in the contemporary urban transportation environment, sustainable transportation policies. These policies' principal goal is to change people's travel habits, or, in other words, to alter the travel environment. However, many of these rules' ramifications are unclear or complicated. As a result, it is critical that decision-makers are informed of the effects of such policies before adopting and putting them into practice. Models of travel demand can be used in this situation to forecast future travel demand under various policy scenarios. In order to analyze sustainable transportation strategies, this study analyses the possibilities of travel demand models already in use in India. The study discovered that the trip-based, four-step aggregate method used in India as the standard model system was nsufficient for studying sustainable transportation policy. An analysis of an alternative strategy known as activity-based travel demand modeling revealed that it could manage such policies better than traditional models and was useful in selecting the best combination of policies for particular circumstances. Since India has not yet created an operational activity-based travel demand modeling system, the study concludes by proposing a conceptual framework for an integrated activity-based demand model based on the needs identified within the review's framework. In accordance with people's current activity-travel behavior, it can be utilized to create modified and verified applications for existing travel demand models. The final result is done by using the EDAS method. Delhi is highest Value and Agra is lowest value.","PeriodicalId":23502,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Offshore Technology","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75980084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The test was performed to study the OPB phenomenon for a chain diameter which was larger than the maximum diameter tested by the OPB JIP. The goal was to understand chain OPB physics for such a large diameter, measure interlink stiffness and maximum sliding moments and validate BES’ in-house finite element model. The current study is a collaboration between all involved parties and the results will be presented in three papers. The first paper summarizes the test setup and instrumentation. The second paper describes the test results, compares them with the OPB JIP estimations and tries to describe the chain OPB physics. The third and the last paper presents the FEA results performed by BES’ in-house finite element model. This paper is the first of the three and focuses on the test setup and instrumentation.\u0000 The testing machine has been developed by DNV GL and is capable of applying tensions up to 350 t and interlink rotations in the range of ±3 degrees. Two 7-link chain specimens of R4 and R4s grades, both with the nominal diameter of 168 mm were tested at five tension levels from 150, to 350 t. Testing was performed in both wet and dry conditions. Twenty strain gauges were used to measure 3 OPB and 2 IPB moments at 5 mid-link positions. Twelve strain gauge rosettes were used on 3 links to evaluate SCF’s on the OPB hotspots. Seven inclinometers were used to monitor link rotations. DNV GL utilized a digital image processing tool to capture relative movements of chain links and developed a specific data processing tool to calculate the interlink stiffness, perform statistical analysis and provide several levels of data evaluation and comparison between the tests.\u0000 The paper will provide a description of the test matrix and test objectives are given with the background of the previously performed OPB tests. Next a detailed description of the test rig is presented including the utilized instrumentation. Finally, an explanation of the implemented real-time test monitoring and the performed post-processing on the readings, in line with the test objectives is mentioned.

The purpose of our research is to develop an allocation algorithm which allows for (1) multiple bodies with up to six modes for each body, (2) arbitrary actuator types — azimuthing thrusters, propeller-rudder systems etc., (3) arbitrary objective functions, (4) interaction effects such as forbidden zones, and (5) physical limitations such as saturation.\u0000 Some ideas presented in [1, 2] were generalised to more widely applicable concepts. Each body has an arbitrary number of actuators, each actuator has an arbitrary number of degrees of freedom. Interaction effects are modelled by means of state-dependent effectivity coefficients. Coupled states, such as propeller thrust and torque, are modelled as linearised constraints. The constrained optimization problem is solved with a combination of Sequential Quadratic Programming and Steepest Descent methods.\u0000 The Python implementation is coupled with MARIN’s extensible modelling framework (XMF). We demonstrate the generic allocation algorithm for an underwater vehicle with multiple actuator types, physical limitations and coupled states and for a surface vessel with two propeller-rudder systems and a bow tunnel thruster. The results show that the allocation algorithm is able to handle complex configurations with specific physical limitations and coupled modes while adopting a generic approach.","PeriodicalId":23502,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Offshore Technology","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78054642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These functions are usually derived from frequency-dependent damping functions that are calculated by a diffraction-radiation code using potential theory. Calculating the retardation functions can be challenging due to lack of information at high frequency. In simulation of wave-driven vessel motion the retardation function is convolved with the velocity to give the wave radiation force, which is time-consuming. The paper describes how the memory effects can be modelled consistently by linear differential equations, such that coupled modes of motion share one set of poles.\u0000 The coefficients of the differential equations are found by least squares fitting of a certain rational function to the numerical damping function. One advantage of this is that no assumption need to be made about the added mass at infinite frequency. Nor is any conditioning of the given data necessary.\u0000 Using the fitted model in time-domain simulation is much quicker than using retardation functions. The method is applied to data representing the sway, roll and yaw motions of an FPSO of 238 m length. It was found that a sixth-order differential equation model fitted the given numeric radiation function well.\u0000 It is shown how the high frequency asymptote for added mass can be estimated with high accuracy, which is valuable when it is not known in advance.","PeriodicalId":23502,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Offshore Technology","volume":"164 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72810767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
