The extraction of oil and gas from deep water is one of the most important challenges of the oil and gas industry today. FPSO is one of the leading platforms for deep waters. This study discussed the performance of FPSO deck modules under loads exerted on the hull of the ship. Modeling of the studied module was executed by SACS software and the effect of support using neoprene in the function o...

This paper presents a novel improved fuzzy particle swarm optimization (IFPSO) algorithm to the intelligent identification and control of a dynamic system. The proposed algorithm estimates optimally the parameters of system and controller by minimizing the mean of squared errors. The particle swarm optimization is enhanced intelligently by using a fuzzy inertia weight to rationally balance the ...

This paper present a new computationally efficient improved stochastic algorithm for solving multi-area DC Optimal Power Flow (DC-OPF) in interconnected power systems. This algorithm is based on the combined application of Fuzzy Logic strategy incorporated in Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, hence termed as Fuzzy PSO (FPSO). Multi-area DC-OPF calculations determine optimum generatio...

In this paper, a new side-by-side mooring bay designed by Keppel Offshore & Marine Technology Centre is investigated, and its global performance and dynamic stability are compared against those of the traditional SPM-mooring system. The multi-body systems include SPM buoy with a turntable and mooring system, a VLCC FPSO, oil tanker, and the hawsers/fenders and yokes between them. A time-domain ...

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) has become an important part in the energy industry on account of its high density, low carbon emission, and convenient transportation. In recent years, with discovery unconventional resources, situation world’s liquefaction plants using conventional as feedstock is changing. Unlike traditional LNG plants, processes require special considerations design manufacturing...
