Abstract

An autonomous vessel, AV, mission planning and monitoring system (500) generates an AV mission and determines a vessel configuration for a vessel to autonomously perform a mission plan. The mission planning and monitoring system (500) generates a mission plan (1102) which comprises at least a mobilization phase, a voyage phase, and a demobilization phase. It may also generate an emergency fall-back plan for the vessel to follow in the unexpected event it cannot complete an assigned mission. Each phase of the AV mission is assigned one or more activities or tasks for the vessel to perform according to a mission time-line (1104). Each activity of the one or more activities is associated by the mission plan with one or more primitive commands (1106). A candidate autonomous vessel is identified for autonomously performing the mission (1108) and capability information for that candidate vessel to perform the mission plan is then obtained (1110) by the mission planning and monitoring system. Based on the capability information, a vessel configuration is generated (1114) for the vessel to adopt to autonomously perform the mission plan. The vessel configuration associates one or more automation and/or navigation primitive commands with each activity the vessel is to perform according to the mission time-line.

Abstract

This invention relates to a system for reducing frequency and/or voltage variations in the power distribution system. The system comprises a power control unit being connected to at least one power generator and at least one consumer, power control system being adapted to monitor the measured load in the system from said at least one power generator and the power consumption from said at least one consumer, and a prediction allocating system for adapted to receive information from, each consumer related to the planned or predicted power consumption and to calculate expected power consumption of the system, and feeding the allocated power consumption to a motor generator system (MGS) controller.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for reducing load and frequency variations in the power distribution of a dynamically positioned vessel. The system comprising a consumer load control being connected to at least one power generator and at least one thruster, the consumer load control being adapted to monitor the available power in the system, from said at least one power generator and, the power consumption from said at least one thruster as well as other power consumers in the system. The system also comprises a dynamic positioning (DP) unit monitoring the position of the vessel calculating the required thruster capacity for maintaining a predetermined position, wherein the DP unit is adapted to define an acceptable window for variations in said position relative to the predetermined position, and said consumer load control is adapted to adjust the power provided to said thruster in order to reduce total load variations depending on the available power and to the position of the vessel relative to said window.
