Oscillations due to interconnection between bodies
– Too large DP bandwidth(In fact must be almost zero)
– Relative position measurements do not help
– Special severe when lifting to SPAR buoy
Very different from free floating bodies

“Optimal” feed forward– Invert vessel dynamics
– Frequency independent response

No relative speed / acceleration measurements available
Differentiate relative position– Speed– Acceleration

The Follow Target Mode
Reaction Circle– Operator defined circle within which the
target can move without causing the vessel to follow
– When target at edge of reaction circle, position setpoint is updated automatically to restore the vessel position relative to the target
– Reaction circle is redrawn around the new position of the target
Multi targets– Follow target position– Follow target heading

Operational safety issues
Need good absolute reference systems
– Takes care of the stability of the DP control
Need good relative reference systems
– Takes care of correct distance to target
No good idea to mix relative and absolute reference systems
– Relative systems may “through out” absolute or vice versa
What happens if all absolute reference systems are out of service?
– Make relative measurements absolute!

Operational safety issues cont.
Anything to do with he control?– Parametric changes not adequate– Structural problem– DP to be tuned to cope with
typical target motions

Effect of gain level
Class 2/3 requirement– Absolute reference system
redundancy- DGPS/ DARPS , Acoustics, Taut wire
– Relative reference system redundancy
- RADius, Fanbeam, DARPS, Gangway
– Both types crucial for safe operation– “Counting exercise” not sufficient

Conclusions
Special control algorithms needed– Possible stability problems– Feed forward from target motion necessary
Safety of operation– Emphasis on both relative AND absolute reference systems
Thank you for your attention
