K-POS DYNAMIC POSITIONING OPTIMIZING COMPLEX VESSEL OPERATIONS - 5

Unmatched performance The K-Pos system is designed to keep the vessel within specified position and heading limits. In operation the system tolerates transient errors in the thrusters and measurement systems and acts appropriately if a fault occurs. A self adapting Extended Kalman Filter estimates the vessel's heading, position and velocities and the disturbances from sea current and waves. The estimator uses an accurate mathematical model of the vessel. Kalman filtering technique using the model prediction together with real measurements provides unsurpassed filtering quality, robustness...

OPERATIONAL MODES The K-POS systems allow the vessel to be operated in several different operational modes Auto Heading mode Joystick mode In the Auto Heading mode, the system accurately controls the heading: • Present Heading, which maintains the vessel's current heading • Change Heading, which rotates the vessel to the specified heading applying specified rate of turn • Minimum Power Heading, which continuously optimizes the vessel's heading for the lowest power consumption In the Joystick mode, the operator controls the vessel using the three-axis joystick. Joystick operation can be...

Green Control Follow Target mode The GreenDP® is designed with the objective of further reducing fuel consumption and wear and tear on mechanical parts of the power and thruster system. This sophisticated system employs a control strategy called "Non-Linear Model Predictive Control" that uses the smallest possible thrust vector, and thus power, to keep the vessel inside user defined boundaries of the working and operational area, as opposed to the traditional "bull'seye" station keeping. Inside the working area, the controller gives a slowly varying thruster demand that compensates for the...

INTEGRATED VESSEL MANAGEMENT Seamless integration The Integrated Vessel Management concept supports seamless integration of all vessel control systems. Bridge systems, that is navigation, manoeuvring, propulsion and thruster controls, are linked to machinery and cargo automation and safety systems by means of system-wide communication highway. The system-wide communication network enables free flow of information within the Integrated Vessel Management System. All operator stations, controllers and interface units are linked together via the redundant communication network. In order to...

The distinct part of the integrated solution K-Thrust Thruster control The real-time DP control itself is carried out by the DP Controller which also takes care of all interfacing to sensors, power plant and thrusters. The controller can be installed in any suitable location, e.g. in an instrument room or void space. The DP Operator Stations handles all operator interactions. In addition to ordinary operator stations, indoor and outdoor joystick terminals may be added. When thruster control is supplied, the thruster interfacing and local monitoring and control are provided by separate...

K-POS DYNAMIC POSITIONING OPTIMIZING COMPLEX VESSEL OPERATIONS - 12

In position with reduced fuel consumption Pipe laying on track The weather vane operation mode is used for offshore loading, making it possible to reduce the thruster force required to retain the vessel's position relative to the offshore loading buoy or FPSO. The weather vaning utilizes the stabilizing effect of the environmental forces acting on the vessel's hull. Weather vaning is available for all modes of offshore loading, e.g. SPM, OLS, SAL and tandem loading (FPSO). During pipe laying operations, the DP system controls the vessel's movement and the pipe tension is compensated to...
