Dynamic positioning of drilling vessel in presence of ice
FY 2015-16
Summary
The objective of this proposed research is to develop a workable framework of the ""New Generation Green DP
System"" and evaluate the feasibility of the system in a simulated environment. The proposed DP system will
have the following capabilities:(i) automatically determines the optimal setpoints for vessels to minimize fuel
consumption, (ii) can predict loss of position under different disturbance scenario, and (iii) provide decision
support to operators in case of equipment failure. The newly developed DP system will provide a more
accurate, green and safer position control of vessels that require dynamic positioning in harsh environment with
extreme wind, wave and ice conditions.
