Semi-submersible plays an important role in ocean oil and gas exploitation. This paper carried out some researches for the dynamic positioning system (DPS) of a deep water semi- submersible. Mathematic modal was made, and a special program was created with M-language for the time-domain dynamic analysis of the dynamic positioning system of the deep water semi-submersible, on basis of the mathematic modal. PID control strategy, kalman filtering theory and optimal thrust allocation method were used in the analysis. Simulation result indicated the DPS of this platform is safe and efficient.

The present study deals with the dynamics of a semi-submersible platform coupled with a free-hanging vertical rigid riser during the re-entry operation in ultra-deep water. The reentry operation occurs after the drilling phases are accomplished which only use the bare drillstring. The re-entry operation entails positioning the subsurface Blow-Out-Preventer (BOP) above the wellhead and installing it to the wellhead. During this operation, the BOP is suspended by the drilling riser. The placement and installation is time consuming and requires a great amount of accuracy. One challenge is the effects of platform motions on the installation procedure. The present work was carried out with the aim to understand the influence of platform motions during the re-entry operation in ultra-deep waters. Another benefit of this study is the knowledge of the effect of platform motions on the drilling riser and BOP which leads to the possibility of drilling more than one well without the need to raise the BOP to the surface. This could greatly reduce the amount of time needed to drill subsurface wells which in turn, reduces overall operational costs. A numerical simulation in time domain has been carried out using a non-linear model for the platform dynamics. The dynamics of a free hanging drilling riser and a dynamic positioning system (DPS) of the semi-submersible platform are included in the numerical model. Simulation results in time domain of the platform displacements with DPS and riser displacement are shown. A discussion of riser displacement and DPS control is also included.

The paper presents a method to build MMG model of ship motion for a oil supply vessel (OSV) with dynamic positioning system. It is assumed that the ship motion exposed to environment disturbances like wind, wave & currents, The simulation results show that the model of the vessel and environment disturbances are suitable, and the method is practicable .

ABSTRACT The dynamical positioning system is a complex control consisting of a number of components, including: filters, observers, controllers, and propeller allocation systems. The design and preliminary analysis of operational quality of system operation are usually done based on numerical simulations performed with the aid of the mathematical model of the ship. The article presents a concept of the dynamic positioning system applied to steering the training ship Blue Lady used for training captains in the ship handling research and training centre owned by the Foundation for Safety of Navigation and Environment Protection in Ilawa/Kamionka. The simulation tests performed in the numerical environment of Matlab/Simulink have proved the usability of the designed system for steering a ship at low speed.

Abstract In this work there is presented an analysis of impact of ship model parameters on changes of control quality index in a ship dynamic positioning system designed with the use of a backstepping adaptive controller. Assessment of the impact of ship model parameters was performed on the basis of Pareto-Lorentz curves and ABC method in order to determine sets of the parameters which have either crucial, moderate or low impact on objective function. Simulation investigations were carried out with taking into account integral control quality indices.
