Problems of Handling Ships Equipped with Azipod Propulsion Systems
PRACE NAUKOWE POLITECHNIKI WARSZAWSKIEJ z. 95 Transport 2013 Lech Kobyliski Foundation for Safety of Navigation and Environment Protection PROBLEMS OF HANDLING SHIPS EQUIPPED WITH AZIPOD PROPULSION SYSTEMS The manuscript delivered, March 2013 Abstract: Large ships, mainly large cruise vessels, built during last two decades are quite often equipped with revolutionary propulsion devices known under the name AZIPODs. There are many reasons for choosing AZIPODs as main propulsion units, the main reason being excellent manoeuvring characteristics achieved. However in case of large propulsion units, having power of 15-25 MW, used for propulsion there are also some disadvantages and limitations, the last mainly related to operational factors. Handling of ships equipped with AZIPODS is different from handling conventional ships and in certain manoeuvring situations safety of the ship and of the propulsion units might be endangered.. Therefore some limitations imposed on handling procedures are necessary and it is essential that pilots and masters of ships fitted with AZIPODs must be specially trained. Keywords: ship manoeuvrability, podded propulsion, handling of ships with Azipods 1. INTRODUCTION During recent times the new type of vessel has been introduced to the world shipping fleet in large numbers. This type is passenger cruise vessel. Statistics of ships in operation and on order reveals that more than 750 ships of different size that could be defined as cruise ships are recently in operation, more than about 50 of them are large ships of more than 250 metres in length and carrying sometimes as much as 6000 passengers. According to the definition cruise ship is usually a very large passenger ship that makes a roundtrip with several en route stops and takes passengers only at the port where trip begins and ends.

Fokkink July 2009 Delft, the Netherlands Optimal Thrust Allocation Methods for Dynamic Positioning of Ships Christiaan de Wit July 2009 Environment from Abstract The first Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems emerged in the 1960’s from the need for deep water drilling by the offshore oil and gas industry, as conventional mooring systems, like a jack-up barge or an anchored rig, can only be used in shallow waters. GustoMSC has been developing DP drill ships since the early 1970’s and it is still one of their core businesses. DP systems automatically control the position and heading of a ship subjected to environmental and external forces, using its own actuators. The thrust allocator of a DP system is responsible for the thrust distribution over the actuators of the ship. Apart from minimizing the power consumption an ideal thrust allocator can also take other aspects into account, such as forbidden/spoil zones and thruster relations.

Integrating INS and GNSS Sensors to Provide Reliable Surface Positioning
Author’s Name Name of the Paper Session DYNAMIC POSITIONING CONFERENCE October 9-10, 2012 SENSORS I SESSION Integrating INS and GNSS Sensors to Provide Reliable Surface Positioning By David Russell VERIPOS David Russell, VERIPOS Integrating INS and GNSS Sensors to Provide Reliable Surface Positioning ABSTRACT The ideal surface positioning system will provide a constant, stable, accurate and repeatable position in real-time which is essential to safe and productive operations. In perfect conditions, GNSS along with augmentation data can deliver this performance and with the modernization of existing constellations and the imminent arrival of new satellite constellations the performance and availability of GNSS should improve. However, while additional observations will be available, the satellite signals are still susceptible to effects of ionosphere scintillation and interference whether intentional or un-intentional plus signal blockage can occur when working close to platforms and this will result in degraded positioning. Inertial Navigation involves determining a position through dead reckoning using gyros and accelerometers to calculate changes in position, velocity and attitude. Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) are completely self contained and inherently robust providing output with exceptional good short term accuracy but the position accuracy will drift with time. INS and GNSS are complementary sensors and when combined can deliver constant, stable, accurate and repeatable positioning. The integration of GNSS and inertial technologies exploits the long term accuracy and precision characteristics of GNSS positioning with the continuous availability and fast update rate of inertial sensors. The resulting integrated system can bridge GNSS disruptions (e.g. ionospheric scintillation, physical obstructions, etc.) as well as detecting position outliers due to common mode failures which can affect vessel GNSS systems simultaneously which is particularly advantageous for DP operations.

Dynamic Positioning Nonlinear Control System of the Dredger Based on Profinet IO
JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS, VOL. 8, NO. 2, FEBRUARY 2013 455 Dynamic Positioning Nonlinear Control System of the Dredger Based on Profinet IO Yu-hua Zhang1, 2 1Key Lab of Control of Power Transmission and Transformation, Ministry of Education, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai, China 2School of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Henan Polytechnic University, Jaozuo, China Email: [email protected] Jian-guo Jiang and Yan-jun Jiang Key Lab of Control of Power Transmission and Transformation, Ministry of Education, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai, China Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract— A dredger’s dynamic positioning system (DPS) is 1st-order wave motions from the low frequency (LF) designed with real-time Profinet IO structure and nonlinear positions while reconstructing LF velocities [4, 5]. All control algorithm. Real-time industrial Ethernet is used in these have been realized by using linear Kalman filter. this system to improve the real-time performance. Unfortunately, the results of Kalman filter are only valid Noise-free estimates of the position and the velocity are locally. This motivates the research on nonlinear ship produced by the observer, and the adaptive dynamic surface control. Backstepping method is the first attempt towards control (ADSC) algorithm is adopted to solve the special problem of the dredger with strong disturbances. nonlinear output feedback control of dynamic positioning Disturbances can be estimated and compensated by system. And a passive nonlinear observer is proposed in adaptive arithmetic. This work solves the contradiction Ref. [6]. between the real-time control requirement and complex Dynamic surface control technique is an improved control algorithms well.

In addition to working in new geographies and topographies, there are also changes to regulation, legislation and the environment, including the political one. These issues combine to make our contracting activities increasingly difficult; ever more complex, challenging and risk laden. This requires us all to deliver to high standards, and places an emphasis on the need for sustainable and viable contractors in all segments of the market. 3 4 Whilst the business is high profile and often high value, that profile is not FEATURE IMCA always recognised, firstly by our clients and outside the energy sector itself. Recently though, there are signs that the financial world is taking more of an interest in our activities, with the advent of financial investors seeking to take a stake in the funding and control of offshore construction. Although greater involvement and understanding from the wider world is to be welcomed, there should also perhaps be a word or two of caution due to the sensitive nature of the work we are engaged in, as, particularly in the environmental sense, the need for a greater emphasis on safety becomes more and more fundamental to all that we do; on the capacity and capability of the contracting supply chain to deliver, within safety, quality, schedule, and still making a sustainable fair amount of profit.

Preliminary Design of Dynamic Positioning System for a Drillship
American Journal of Engineering Research (AJER) 2021 American Journal of Engineering Research (AJER) e-ISSN: 2320-0847 p-ISSN : 2320-0936 Volume-10, Issue-02, pp-52-60 www.ajer.org Research Paper Open Access Preliminary Design of Dynamic Positioning System for A Drillship 1Inegiyemiema. M and 2Odokwo, V. E. (1) Rivers State University, Port Harcourt; Nigeria. Department of Marine Engineering (2) Akwa Ibom State University, Ikot Akpaden, Akwa Ibom State; Nigeria. Department of Marine Engineering ABSTRACT: An offshore vessel with a dynamic positioning system (DP system) needs fast response to produce thrust to counteract the environment forces acting on it for the purpose of maintaining its position and heading as close as possible to the working position. Therefore, quick and effective modulation of the thrust is the problem to determine the thrust and rotation angle of the thruster device of the ship. This project presents an effective optimum control for a thruster system, using MATLAB simulation to achieve economical and effective modulation of the thrust and direction of thruster. An optimum control study of a 53133 tons DP drillship with five rotary azimuth thruster marine positioning is studied in detail which can quickly and exactly estimate the thrusts and angles of direction of all thrusters. The results can provide a valuable thruster system for a dynamically positioned vessel. KEYWORDS: dynamic positioning, drillship, modulation, azimuth thruster --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Submission: 25-01-2021 Date of acceptance: 10-02-2021 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. INTRODUCTION Dynamic positioning (DP) is any computer-controlled system that automatically maintains a vessel in a relatively fixed position with respect to the ocean floor, accomplished by two or more propulsive devices without using anchors.
