There has been an increasing number of studies on photovoltaic energy generation system in an offshore site with the largest energy generation efficiency, as increasing the researches and developments of renewable energies for use of offshore space and resources to replace existing fossil fuels and resolve environmental challenges. For installation and operation of floating photovoltaic systems in an offshore site with harsher environmental conditions, a stiffness of structural members comprising the total system must be reinforced to inland water spaces as dams, reservoirs etc., which have relatively weak condition. However, there are various limitations for the reinforcement of structural stiffness of the system, including producible size, total mass of the system, economic efficiency, etc. Thus, in this study, a floating breakwater is considered for reducing wave loads on the system and minimizing the reinforcement of the structural members. Wave reduction performances of floating breakwaters are evaluated, considering size and distance to the system. The wave loads on the system are evaluated using the higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM), considering the multi-body effect of buoys. Stresses on structural members are assessed by coupled analyses using the finite element method (FEM), considering the wave loads and hydrodynamic characteristics. As the maximum stresses on each of the cases are reviewed and compared, the effect of floating breakwater for floating photovoltaic system is checked, and it is confirmed that the size of breakwater has a significant effect on structural responses of the system.

In this study, research and empirical cases of floating offshore wind turbine systems with a tension-leg platform are investigated, and hydrodynamic and structural characteristics according to platform shapes and characteristics during transportation and installation are confirmed. Most platforms are composed of pontoons or corner columns, and these are mainly located below the waterline to minimize the impact of breaking waves and supplement the lack of buoyancy of the center column. These pontoons and corner columns are designed with a simple shape to reduce manufacturing and assembly costs, and some platforms additionally have reinforcements such as braces to improve structural strength. Most of the systems are assembled in the yard and then moved by tugboat and installed, and some platforms have been developed with a dedicated barge for simultaneous assembly, transportation and installation. In this study, we intend to secure the basic data necessary for the design, transportation, and installation procedures of floating offshore wind turbine systems with a tension-leg platform.

The IMO has adopted emission standards that strictly restrict the use of bunker C oil for vessels. Accordingly, research and bunkering pilot projects for LNG fueled ships are being actively carried out, which is expected to substantially reduce environmental pollution. In this study, we have adopted the turret moored Floating LNG Bunkering Terminal (FLBT) designed to receive the LNG from LNGCs and to transfer LNG to LNG bunkering shuttles in ship to ship moored condition. Numerical simulations have been performed with a 1-year return period of wind, wave, and current. Damping values of numerical model were adjusted from the results of model tests to obtain accurate simulation results. The results confirm safe berthing operation during the 1-year return period of environmental condition. Safety depends on the direction of environment, with increasingly stable operation facilitated by the application of heading-control function of FLBT to avoid beam-sea conditions.

The aim of the present study is to develop a direct structural analysis system for more reliable and effective structural safety estimation of floating tripe ocean structures. In this system, the following three modules are included; i.e., a rigid body motion analysis module based on the three dimensional panel method, a structural analysis module, and a stochastic analysis module based on short and long term spectral analysis techniques. The structural analysis module consists of the general purpose finite element analysis program NASTRAN and the automatic load data generation program LOADGEN. As an illustrative example, the developed system is applied to structural design of a PILOT Barge Mounted Plant(BMP). Results of the structural analysis are compared with those obtained using a two dimensional strip method.

The analysis of the floating offshore wind turbine platform is based on the procedures provided by the IEC including the International Classification Society, which recommends the analysis in the time domain. But time-domain simulation requires a lot of time and resources to solve tens of thousands of DLCs. This acts as a barrier in terms of floating structure development. For final verification, it requires very precise analysis in the time domain, but from an initial design point of view, a simplified verification procedure to predict the quantity of materials quickly and achieve relatively accurate results is crucial. In this study, a structural design procedure using a design wave applied in the oil and gas industries is presented combined with a conservative turbine load. With this method, a quick design spiral can be rotated, and it is possible to review FOWTs of various shapes and sizes. Consequently, a KRISO Semi-Submersible FOWT platform was developed using a simplified design procedure in frequency-domain analysis.

In this study, we address the development of a floating platform system based on a unmanned surface vessel for wide-area sensing and monitoring of hazardous and noxious substances (HNSs). For long endurance, a movable floating platform with no mooring lines was used and modified for HNS sensing and monitoring. The floating platform was equipped with various sensors such as optical and thermal imaging cameras, marine radar, and sensors for detecting HNSs in water and air. Additionally, for experiment validation in real outdoor environments, a portable gas-exposure system (PGS) was built and installed on the monitoring system. The software for carrying out the mission was integrated with the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework. The practical feasibility of the developed system was verified through experimental tests conducted in inland water and real-sea environments.

In this study, the global response characteristics of floater and mooring for floating offshore wind turbine with a detachable mooring system are performed. Global motion and structural response result extracted from the coupled motion analysis of 10MW DTU floating offshore wind turbine with detachable mooring system modeled by high-order boundary element model and finite element mesh, were used to study the characteristics of tension on mooring lines subjected to three different types of ocean loads. Breaking limit of mooring line characterized by wind, current and wave load has a major effect on the distribution of mooring tension found in time domain analysis. Based on the numerical results of coupled motion analysis, governing equation for calculating the motion response of a floater under ocean loads, and excitation force and surge motion and tension respectively are presented using excursion curve. It is found that the response of floater is reliable and accurate for calculating the tension distributions along the mooring lines under complex loadings. This means that the minimun breaking limit of mooring system satisfied a design criteria at ultimate ocean environmental loading condtions.

Environmental regulations have recently been strengthened. Consequently, floating LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) power plants are being developed, which are new power generation plants that generate electricity by utilizing LNG. A floating LNG power plant generates BOG(Boil-Off Gas) during its operation, and the system design of such a plant should be capable of removing or re-liquefying BOG. However, the design of an offshore plant differs according to the marine requirements. Hence, a process simulation model of the BOG re-liquefaction system is needed, which can be continuously modified to avoid designing the floating LNG power plant through trial and error. In this paper, to develop a model appropriate for the floating LNG power plant, a commercial process simulation program was employed. Depending on the presence of refrigerants, various BOG re-liquefaction systems were modeled for comparing and analyzing the re-liquefaction rates and liquid points of BOG. Consequently, the BOG re-liquefaction system model incorporating nitrogen refrigerants is proposed as the re-liquefaction system model for the floating LNG power plant.
