Active heave compensation of floating wind turbine installation using a catamaran construction vessel
Ren, Zhengru; Skjetne, Roger; Verma, Amrit Shankar; Jiang, Zhiyu; Gao, Zhen; Halse, Karl Henning (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The application of floating wind turbines is limited by the high cost that increases with the water depth. Offshore installation and maintenance continue to consume a high percentage of the project budget. To improve the ... -
Dynamic Simulation and Control of an Active Roll Reduction System Using Free-Flooding Tanks With Vacuum Pumps
Xu, Jiafeng; Ren, Zhengru; Li, Yue; Skjetne, Roger; Halse, Karl Henning (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Ship roll motion is critical for offshore operations due to its lack of damping mechanism. This paper demonstrates a dynamic simulation scheme of an active roll reduction system using free-flooding tanks controlled by ... -
Dynamic Simulation and Control of an Active Roll Reduction System Using Free-Flooding Tanks With Vacuum Pumps
Xu, Jiafeng; Ren, Zhengru; Li, Yue; Skjetne, Roger; Halse, Karl Henning (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017)Ship roll motion is often the critical factor for offshore operations due to its lack of damping mechanism. This paper demonstrates a dynamic simulation scheme of an active roll reduction system using free-flooding tanks ... -
Impact assessment of a wind turbine blade root during an offshore mating process
Verma, Amrit Shankar; Jiang, Zhiyu; Vedvik, Nils Petter; Gao, Zhen; Ren, Zhengru (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Single-blade installation is a popular method for installing blades on bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines. A jack-up crane vessel is often employed, and individual blades with their roots equipped with mechanical joints ... -
Mating Control of a Wind Turbine Tower-Nacelle-Rotor Assembly for a Catamaran Installation Vessel
Jiang, Zhiyu; Ren, Zhengru; Gao, Zhen; Sandvik, Peter Christian; Halse, Karl Henning; Skjetne, Roger (Chapter, 2018)The assembly and installation costs of an offshore wind farm can approach 20% of the capital expenditures; therefore, time efficient installation methods are needed for installing offshore wind turbines. This study ... -
Model-free anti-swing control of complex-shaped payload with offshore floating cranes and a large number of lift wires
Ren, Zhengru; Verma, Amrit Shankar; Ataei, Behfar; Halse, Karl Henning; Hildre, Hans Petter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Being one of the most commonly used offshore operations, offshore lifting operations become increasingly challenging due to the gradually growing size and weight of payloads. The research on automatic control in lifting ...
