Unequal Length

Traditional frequency domain based vessel motion analyses operate under the assumption that the roll damping contribution from the port and starboard bilge keels are equivalent. In this work, we examine the roll motion of a vessel with bilge keels of unequal length using a novel methodology. Experiments conducted during the FPSO Roll JIP suggest that waves approaching from port versus starboard will induce different motion amplitudes due to the unequal bilge keel length. We examine the results from different approaches, comparing the computed response from a frequency domain analysis against those provided by a time domain model using Orcaflex with bilge keel represented by drag elements.

In this paper, the float-off operation of a land-built crude oil tank (COT) loaded out and towed on launching dual-submersible barges is numerically simulated by a time-domain vessel-mooring-riser coupled dynamic analysis program with multiple floating bodies. The study is particularly focused on the maximum load prediction on connectors and the minimum gap prediction between barges and the COT. In case of simpler modeling, the time-domain simulation results are compared with frequency-domain results. Then, the time-domain model is run for more realistic situation with hawsers and mooring line. In hydrodynamic analysis, the interactions among the 3 floating bodies are fully taken into consideration. In the frequency-domain analysis, the connectors between barges are modeled by equivalent translational and rotational springs, the stiffness of which is estimated using Euler’s beam theory. In order to assess the possible occurrence of contact between COT and barges, the relative motions between barges and the COT at several points of interest were investigated.

Three-phase wye–delta LLC topology is suitable for voltage step down and high output current, and has been used in the industry for some time, e.g., for server power and EV charger. However, no comprehensive circuit analysis has been performed for three-phase wye–delta LLC. This paper provides complete analysis methods for three-phase wye–delta LLC. The analysis methods include circuit operation, time domain analysis, frequency domain analysis, and state–plane analysis. Circuit operation helps determine the circuit composition and operation sequence. Time domain analysis helps understand the detail operation, equivalent circuit model, and circuit equation. Frequency domain analysis helps obtain the curve of the transfer function and assists in circuit design. State–plane analysis is used for optimal trajectory control (OTC). These analyses not only can calculate the voltage/current stress, but can also help design three-phase wye-delta connected LLC and provide the OTC control reference. In addition, this paper uses PSIM simulation to verify the correctness of analysis. At the end, a 5-kW three-phase wye–delta LLC prototype is realized. The specification of the prototype is a DC input voltage of 380 V and output voltage/current of 48 V/105 A. The peak efficiency is 96.57%.

The Time Domain

The convergence of learning control is traditionally analyzed in the time domain. This is because a finite planning horizon is often assumed and the analysis in time domain can be extended to time-varying and nonlinear systems. For linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with infinite planning horizon, however, we show that simple frequency domain techniques can be used to quickly derive several interesting results not amenable to time-domain analysis, such as predicting the rate of convergence or the design of optimum learning control law. We explain a paradox arising from applying the finite time convergence criterion to the infinite time learning control problem, and propose the use of current error feedback for controlling possibly unstable systems.

The Extendable Draft Platform (EDP) is a deep draft, column stabilized platform with a deck box support for topsides and a single, deep draft heave plate that provides suitable motion characteristics to enable the use of dry tree top tensioned risers. The EDP can be fabricated with topsides installed on the deck box and commissioned quayside in a typical construction yard. With the columns in the retracted position, the EDP floats on its deck box and can be towed, in this configuration, to the location of interest. Once the EDP is transported to its final site, the columns and heave plate are lowered to their final operating draft. During the lowering sequence, the deck box and the lower hull become two relatively independent bodies, mechanically connected by chains that control the lowering of the columns and heave plate, and the guides between the deck box and the columns. This multi-body system is hydrodynamically coupled because of radiated and diffracted waves. The global performance analyses of the installation process (lowering of the lower hull) are carried out by three different methods. The first method is frequency-domain analysis by WAMIT and a frequency domain motion solver. In the frequency domain analysis, all the mechanical connections are modeled as linear springs. The second method is time-domain, partially coupled analysis using HARP/WINPOST. In this analysis, the off diagonal 6×6 hydrodynamic interactions are ignored. The last method is a time domain, fully coupled analysis using HARP/WINPOST. In this analysis, full 12×12 hydrodynamic interactions are considered. In the time domain analyses, the mechanical couplings between each column and deck box are modeled with linear springs and the chain connections are modeled with slender rods by using the nonlinear finite element method. This paper presents and compares analysis results based on the three methods for relative motions and loads between the deck box and the lower hull during the lowering of the columns and heave plate.
