Abstract:
Bridge and gantry cranes are crucially important elements in the industrial complex; they are used in many areas such as shipping, building construction, steel mills, and nuclear facilities, just to name a few. These types of systems tend to be highly flexible in nature, generally responding to commanded motion with oscillations of the payload and hook. The response of these systems to external disturbances, such as wind, is also oscillatory in nature. Often, the oscillations of the hook and payload have undesirable consequences. For instance, precise manipulation of payloads is difficult when cable sway is present. Oscillation of the hook can also present a safety hazard. For these reasons, the ability to successfully negate these detrimental dynamics can result in improved positioning, quicker settling time, and improved safety. This thesis addresses the dynamic properties of bridge and gantry cranes in an effort to develop a control scheme that enables strides to be made in these areas of positioning, efficiency, and safety. The fundamental advancement arising from this thesis is the development of a control scheme that enables precise positioning of the payload while motion and disturbance-induced oscillations are eliminated. A command generation technique uniquely suited for reducing oscillation in low-frequency flexible systems is examined and utilized in the control. The control scheme is implemented on a 10-ton bridge crane for validation purposes.

Abstract:
Abstract Oil and Gas EPC contractors in the Middle East are gradually transitioning into the Wind farm development projects in Far East Asia and Europe. NPCC, one of the leading contractors in the EPC of fixed oil and gas platforms in Middle East is executing the installation of Wind turbine generator (WTG) monopile foundations in an offshore field of Northeast Asia. Monopiles are simple type of structural foundation used to support the wind turbines in offshore fields and are designed to withstand the operational and environmental loads on the latter. A simple and common form of WTG foundation would be a single vertical monopile which differs from conventional offshore jacket piles with respect to its large diameter (8 meter) and weight (up to 1,950mt) based on the capacity of WTG. Installation of these piles requires specialized custom-made equipment for lifting, upending and standalone vertical driving. The foundations of fixed platforms typically consist of a jacket with a mud mat and drilled/driven grouted piles with a maximum diameter of 2.5 meters. These piles are crucial for supporting the process platforms or wellhead topsides. The conventional installation method involves transporting the jacket and piles on a cargo barge and installing them using a simple, dual block lifting system with or without upending clamps on the barge. However, when dealing with large diameter monopiles, the transport barge can only accommodate two of them. At offshore, these monopiles must be shifted to either a separate barge or a crane vessel equipped with a massive upending hinge for upending prior to installation / driving at final location. The installation aids used for wind farm foundation components are completely different and unique from those used for installing foundations of fixed oil and gas platforms. Unlike fixed jacket foundations where the jacket legs guide the pile installation and driving process, monopiles require a gripping system to hold them vertically in place during installation. Such equipment necessitates careful consideration for layout onboard, and this paper explores the challenges involved in modifying the crane vessel layout to accommodate WTG monopile installation. Transforming an existing derrick lay floating crane vessel for WTG monopile installation is a highly challenging and critical task. This paper delves into various aspects to be considered when converting a floating vessel to make it suitable for foundation installations on Offshore Wind Farms. The paper extensively covers topics related to Constructability, Mobilization, and Installation, offering valuable insights for the installation engineering of monopiles. Moreover, it serves as a valuable reference for any Installation Contractor venturing into wind farm installations.

Abstract:
Abstract In view of the low oil price environment hitting the industry several years back, majoritymarginal field development projects has struggled to reduce its capital expenditure via the conventional installationmethod (i.e. using crane barge). Fixed offshore structures has largely been installed via the conventional crane barge. Utilization of a crane barge has resulted in a significant amount of installation costs as the mobilization cost and the Daily Charter Rates (DCR) for the vessel is very high. This paper intends to investigate the option of utilizing Jack-up Rig (JUR) as the installation spread, in lieu of crane barge. In an effort to optimize project costs, the rig-installed platform concept has been considered as one of the option due to the cheaper cost of JUR DCR compared to anormal crane barge. The saving in material, schedule and mobilization cost can also be achieved as the JUR can proceed with the drilling of the conductor wells (which are also the main piles of the structure) directly after the structure installation. JUR is used for the installation of WHP with some degree of limitations due to the drilling envelope and derrick lifting capacity. The structures must be designed to suit these limitations. Some minor modification is required to the drilling jack-up before it can be utilized to install small and lightweight offshore structures. Upon completion of a pilot project, it is proven that rig-installed platform brings positive advantages to the project in terms of both costs and schedule, despite some limitation that need to be adhered to such as structure weight, water depth, no of wells etc. Given the right project parameters, rig-installed structures can be successfully deployed to meet project objectives. This ‘know-how’ has been around for quite some time in the industry but was not commonly exploited in the Far East. This paper will investigate the lessons learnt from previous successful projects of JUR installed platform covering all aspects i.e., design, fabrication and installation of Light-Weight Structure (LWS). This paper will mainly discuss on the essential requirements of JURinstalled platforms and the potential value creation towards optimizing a marginal field project.
