2011년 IMA의 자료[1]에 의하면, 현재 251척의 부유식 생산설비가 운영되고 있으며, 이중 FPSO가 차지하는 비율은 64%에 이른다. 또한, 가장 각광을 받고 있는 부유식 생산설비의 유형인 FPSO는 현재 40여척을 건조 (New building) 및 개조(Conversion)를 하고 있다. 전체적인 FPSO의 개발 및 건조 프로젝트는 일반 선박 프로 젝트와는 다르게 환경적, 정치적, 상업적인 영향을 많이 받는다. 예를 들면, 같은 구역에 석유/가스 채굴을 위한 프로젝트를 승인받은 기업들은 각자의 기술력, 재정상태, 채굴구역의 정치적인 영향력에 따라서 프로젝트의 초기 개념설계부터 전혀 다른 방향으로 구축할 수 있다. 이러한 변수가 많은 프로젝트를 성공적으로 수행하기 위해서는 각 단계별 세부 계획도 동시에 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 세계적인 해양구조물의 대표 격인 FPSO의 특성을 보고하고 이와 관련되는 프로젝트의 다양한 수행 절차 및 시스템/장비에 대해 설명한다.

We had designed and constructed floating type photovoltaic energy generation system. In this paper, we present the result of investigations pertaining to the development of links between unit modules of the floating type photovoltaic energy generation system. The link system installed between the unit modules is made of pultruded FRP, tire, and polyethilene synthetic fiber rope. The link system is analized by the finite element method. The floating type photovoltaic energy generation system consisted of unit modules connected by link system is installed successfully at sea site. In addition, we present the modified design of the floating type photovoltaic energy generation system based on the proto type system.

This paper investigates the characteristics of dynamic responses of floating structures with connections under sea wave loads. Direct method using higher order boundary element method (HOBEM) and finite element method (FEM) is adopted for numerical analysis. A 500 m-long and 250-m width very large floating structure (VLFS) with four units are considered in numerical analysis. Hinge connection and spring connection with various strength are considered as connection types. Displacements and stresses of VLFS according to the connection types are compared considering wave period and heading angle reduction.

본 논문에서는 평판(plate) 형태를 갖는 부유식 해상구조물의 유탄성해석에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 유체력 산정을 위해 포텐셜을 입사, 방사, 산란으로 구분하여 계산하였던 기존의 방법 대신 전체 포텐셜을 직접 계산하는 방법을 사용하여 최근의 경향을 반영하였다. 선형 유탄성해석의 특성을 고려하여 해석시간을 감소시키기 위해 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 주파수 영역에서의 해석 기법을 적용하였다. 구조체의 모델링에 소요되는 요소수를 줄이고, 휨 변형 시 전단변형률에 의한 잠김현상을 해소하기 위해 MITC 기법을 적용한 평판 유한요소를 사용하였으며, 3차원 Green 함수법을 적용해 유체력을 산정하였다.

Usually, in case of wind turbines on land, there are a lot of constraints for installation such as the insufficient installation space and noise pollution. On March 11, 2011, a nuclear leakage accident occurred due to the tsunami caused by the earthquake in Japan and then there have been a rapidly growing interest in floating offshore wind turbines. In this study, an optimization of the substructure of a semi-submersible type floating offshore wind turbine was made. Design variables were set and design alternatives were fixed. UOU-FAST was used for motion analysis in combined environmental conditions of waves and wind. Response Amplitude Operators(RAOs) were compared between the design alternatives.

In this paper, an experimental study on the hydroelastic behaviors of a VLFS with L=5,000m was made considering a breakwater. The principal dimensions of the VLFS model were 9m${\times}$1.8${\times}$0.0108m(L${\times}$B${\times}$D) and the length of breakwater was 12.6m (1.4L). The distance between the VLFS and the breakwater varied from B/2 to 28. The wide tank test results were compared with the numerical predictions and the comparison showed a little gap along its longitudinal axis, in spite of using the very small model size due to the scale 1/555.5

The motion responses of a 5-MW floating offshore wind turbine were simulated in regular and irregular waves and its RAOs and significant motion responses were calculated, respectively. The floating offshore wind turbine employed in this simulation was the OC3-Hywind designed by the National Renewable Research Laboratory, USA. The numerical simulation was carried out using MOSES (Multi-Operational Structural Engineering Simulator), which is widely used to analyze and design floating offshore structures in the gas and oil industry.

In this thesis the legal systems related to real estate and sea area utilization are studied in order to improve them for construction of Very Large Floating Structure. Main research subjects are as follows: 1) Whether can Very Large Floating Structure be accepted or not as real estate like house and land\ulcorner 2) How can the sea area which is occupied by Very Large Floating Structure be utilized\ulcorner As the conclusion, the Very Large Floating Structure can be registered as real estate even though it is not specified by Korean law for the present. The design concept of Very Large Floating Structure can be interpreted as satisfying enough necessary conditions and factors for Very Large Floating Structure to become real estate. In the near future, we have to make improvement on the laws related with the construction of Very Large Floating Structures so that private sectors can joint the construction. In additions, a new law for various floating structures should be made as soon as possible.

In this paper, unsettled technical controversies concerning about fatigue strength analysis for FPSO, one of the representative floaters, associated with welding types, screening methods, fabrication tolerances, corrosion margins and Morison loads are described based on yard practices. Basic theory for stochastic fatigue analysis is introduced as detail as possible. In order to resolve large parts of the controversies, a new fully stochastic fatigue analysis program for FPSO is developed.
