Tandem Offloading

In 2005, SBM Offshore recognized that in future offshore Floating LNG Production Units, key enabling technologies would be required to ensure the safe and reliable tandem offloading to LNG Carriers. The foundation was thus laid down for the development of the COOL™ Hose: A cryogenic marine floating hose that would enable the tandem offloading between two vessels offshore. This paper presents, after an introduction to the COOL™ Hose design (Hose in Hose concept-HiH), the different steps in the qualification process following the EN1474-2 [1] guidelines and recommendations for design and testing of LNG transfer hoses. This qualification process has been endorsed by two Classification Societies ABS and DNV and has resulted in a Certificate of Fitness for Service from DNV and a Product Design Assessment Certificate from ABS making the SBM COOL™ Hose, the first EN1474-2 qualified LNG floating hose.

Access Right

The interconnection among heterogeneous sensors and data acquisition equipment in cyber-physical systems have profound significance in achieving adaptability, flexibility, and transparency. Various middlewares have been developed in cyber-physical systems to collect, aggregate, correlate, and translate system monitoring data. Existing middleware solutions are normally highly customized, which face several challenges due to the highly dynamic and harsh production environments. The data generated by sensors can only be shared by specific applications, which prevents the reusability of sensors. Moreover, the lack of uniform access to sensors causes high cost and low efficiency in application development. To address these issues, a resource-oriented middleware architecture called ROMiddleware was proposed, and three key enabling technologies including heterogeneous sensor modeling and grouping, open application programming interfaces development, and token-based access right control mechanism have been developed. Under the guidance of the key enabling technologies, a prototype of ROMiddleware was implemented and its performance was evaluated. Finally, two applications were developed to stress the significance of ROMiddleware. The results show that ROMiddleware can meet the requirements of data acquisition in cyber-physical systems.

Key Enabling Technologies

Znaczenie przedsiębiorczości technologicznej dla polskiej gospodarki wyraża się wzrostem konkurencyjności polskich przedsiębiorstw i ich produktów na rynkach zagranicznych. Wiodące w tym obszarze są kluczowe technologie wspomagające (Key Enabling Technologies - KET), do których zaliczanych jest obecnie sześć grup branżowych, wytypowanych przez Komisję Europejską. Przedstawione w niniejszym referacie wyniki badań, mają na celu zwrócić uwagę na rolę i znaczenie, jakie ma dla polskiej gospodarki poznanie i wspieranie rozwoju KET. W tym celu opracowano i zastosowano autorską metodę identyfikacji podmiotów KET, a następnie przeprowadzono ich analizę klasyfikacyjną. Zaproponowano również wskaźnik potencjału, który dokonuje oceny siły, z jaką przedsiębiorstwo jest w stanie spełniać zadania postawione przed KET. W efekcie było możliwe wskazanie polskich przedsiębiorstw produkcyjnych, które można określić mianem KET i które stanowią punkt wyjścia dla pogłębionych badań i analiz.
