Predicting the capability-polar-plots for dynamic positioning systems for offshore platforms using artificial neural networks

As the capability of polar plots becomes better understood, improved dynamic positioning (DP) systems are possible as the control algorithms greatly depend on the accuracy of the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic models. The measurements and estimation of the environmental disturbances have an important role in the optimal design and selection of a DP system for offshore platforms. The main objective of this work is to present a new method of predicting the Capability-Polar-Plots for offshore platforms using the combination of the artificial neural networks (NNs) and the capability polar plots program (CPPP). The estimated results from a case study for a scientific drilling vessel are presented. A trained artificial NN is designed in this work and is able to predict the maximum wind speed at which the DP thrusters are able to maintain the offshore platform in a station-keeping mode in the field site. This prediction for the maximum wind speed will be a helpful tool for DP operators in managing station-keeping for offshore platforms in an emergency situation where the automation of the DP systems is disabled. It is obvious from the obtained results that the developed technique has potential for the estimation of the capability-polar-plots for offshore platforms. This tool would be suitable for DP operators to predict the maximum wind speed and direction in a very short period of time.     

浅水FPSO限位作业系泊分析

以浅水单点系泊装置水下软钢臂维修解脱为背景,研究在拖轮限位状态下FPSO运动与限位缆绳张力。计算在不同水深及浪向条件下,FPSO的二阶传递函数(QTF);分别应用Newman近似方法、全QTF法以及使用部分QTF值的方法,计算FPSO时域低频波浪载荷,并对其限位响应进行对比;计算不同长度时的限位缆绳张力响应,分析限位缆绳长度及FPSO波频运动对缆绳张力的影响。分析表明:Newman近似的适用性,应根据FPSO的QTF与海浪谱能量集中范围综合判断;为减少QTF计算量,可根据FPSO低频运动固有频率,确定频率间隔△ω的计算上限,采用部分QTF值计算低频波浪载荷,其响应预报结果与全QTF法接近;若FPSO的RAO能够避开海浪谱能量集中的频率范围,则在限位分析中可忽略FPSO波频运动的影响。

海上油气生产要求FPSO具有低幅运动的特性,因此系泊系统性能的优劣直接影响生产作业的效率和安全。针对新概念FPSO-IQFP(圆角倒棱台形FPSO)的浮体特点和边际油田经济性开发的需要,设计一套经济有效的多点系泊系统。首先,将钢制悬链线系泊系统和聚酯纤维张紧式系泊系统作为备选方案,根据定常力计算结果并参照工程经验,给出两种系泊系统的初始设计方案,并进行二者的静特性分析,探讨系泊参数对系泊系统受力和位移的影响规律;在此基础上,结合时域计算结果,确定系泊系统的优化设计方案;最后,给出系泊系统的回复力和浮体位移之间的关系曲线,并在静力范围内比较两种系泊系统的优劣性。静力分析结果初步验证,较之悬链线系泊系统,张紧式系泊系统用于浅水作业的IQFP上更具优越性。     

基于准动态模型的提油作业拖轮适用性分析

目前,由于串靠外输方式具有对船舶吨位差异及装载状况要求小、海况适应力强、系泊力小、解脱迅速等优点,而被广泛运用于浮式生产储卸油平台(FPSO)外输作业中。串靠提油作业时,位于穿梭油轮尾部的拖轮能够提供的最大有效拖力直接影响到了作业的安全性。为完善串靠提油作业时所需拖轮拖力的研究,提出更加合理的拖轮选型理论依据,就需要对拖力进行数值计算。首先,对FPSO与穿梭油轮串靠外输系统绕系泊单点旋转时所受风、浪、流等环境载荷进行全面考虑,建立了准动态受力平衡模型;然后,运用经验公式及AQWA软件计算出环境载荷大小,并依据计算结果拟合出环境载荷曲线;最后,配合受力平衡方程求解出能够保障作业安全进行所需的最小拖力。依照此方法计算所得拖力选取的拖轮能够兼顾作业安全性和使用经济性。

Multibody dynamical modeling of the FPSO soft yoke mooring system and prototype validation

The Soft Yoke Mooring System (SYMS) is a single point mooring system for shallow water. It is composed of a mooring framework, mooring legs, yoke, and single point, and is located at the Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) through 13 hinge joints, such as universal joints and thrust bearings. Mooring restoring force, motions and postures of mooring components, and mechanical behaviors of hinge joints are major criteria for the structural design of the SYMS. Aiming at the difficulties of the multibody dynamics in traditional design of the SYMS, a multi-body dynamic mathematical modeling with seven independent degrees of freedom (DOFs) which is applicable to prototype field engineering was developed in this study. The proposed mathematical modeling of the SYMS multibody dynamic system has several advantages: 1. Internal tribological behaviors in hinge joints are considered within the presented multibody dynamics model to illustrate the good dynamic effects of the SYMS. 2. The multibody dynamic model can be applied in field service. Correctness and feasibility of the proposed multibody dynamic simulation method for describing motions and postures of hinges and single-body were validated by the prototype monitoring data. 3. The horizontal restoring force of the SYMS was calculated according to field measurement data. The motion state of each single body and internal stress distributions at each hinge joint in the SYMS are given. 4. The multibody dynamics calculation program can be directly used for the real-time monitoring of mechanical behaviors of the SYMS under the service state. The simulated results can provide real-time guarantee for safety alarming of the system. The vulnerability of the mooring system in service was evaluated based on long-term monitoring data analysis.

基于灰理论的FPSO服务模式经济分析方法研究

近年来,随着浮式生产储存卸货装置(FPSO)逐渐成为世界海洋石油开发的主流方式,FPSO租赁业也随之兴盛起来。然而,迄今为止海洋石油领域仍缺乏对FPSO各服务模式的界定以及对其服务模式进行经济分析的理论依据。论文在调研目前世界范围内FPSO租赁业状况的基础上,对海洋石油领域现有的三种FPSO服务模式(干租、湿租及类湿租)进行了定性分析,首次对其各自的定义进行了归纳,并对其特点、性质进行了总结。此外,文中提出了在贫信息状态下利用灰关联度分析和GM(1,N)模型相结合的方法对FPSO服务模式进行定量经济分析的模型。通过对此模型参数包的求解,给出目标系统中各影响因素对FPSO租赁报价的贡献量,从而为FPSO所有者租赁报价的制定提供合理的科学依据。实例分析表明,这种经济分析模型所需信息量小,建模精度高,分析结果具有较高的可靠度。
