Un-Manned Minimal Floating Platforms
Offshore Technology Conference, 2019Abstract A normally un-manned minimal floating platform can be used for several applications to support subsea development. The applications include enabling Long Subsea Tiebacks by supporting power generation and distribution equipment, when the host facility doesn't have excess power capacity (Power Buoy) or the required footprint and ...

Nonlinear Hydrostatic Restoring of Floating Platforms
Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics, 2015This paper provides a comprehensive theoretical analysis to determine the nonlinear hydrostatic restoring loads and stiffnesses of a floating offshore platform. A new approach is developed to calculate the buoyancy forces and the corresponding moments for general 3D displacements of offshore platforms that utilize cylindrical floaters, such as barge ...

Hydrodynamic response of a pneumatic floating platform
Ocean Engineering, 2000This paper describes a numerical approach to model the dynamic response of a pneumatic floating platform, and the laboratory experiments and parametric study to verify the numerical results. The pneumatic platform is composed of an array of open-bottom vertical cylinders trapping pressurized air that displaces the water.

Unsupervised floating platform for environmental monitoring
2016 IEEE International Conference on Automatic Control and Intelligent Systems (I2CACIS), 2016Environmental monitoring plays an important role in human life, so this project aims to provide a spatial-temporal resolution of data collected inland water storages and lakes through the development of a unique floating platform. Several challenges in monitoring environment especially the accessibility to the site and representativesness of data cause

Large Column-Supported Floating Platforms
1985Deep draft spar buoys provide the maximum decoupling from surface waves of any floating structures. The research vessel FLIP, developed at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), demonstrated how the problems of transporting these very long buoys could be solved by towing them in a horizontal attitude and then ballasting them to the vertical ...

Report of the Advisory Committee on Floating Platforms.
1971Abstract : The following is a list of the objectives and purpose of the Advisory Committee. (1) The safety and seaworthiness of the concept; (2) The ability of the concept to be extended in size, either by scaling the size of individual modules or by the addition of additional modules; (3) Technical issues which may arise from the design of the ...
