    Offshore wind resources in deep-water is more abundant and will be one of the main development trends in the next few years. However, offshore wind development faces many challenges such as the power transmission and consumption. It needs new development models and technological innovations to be promoted. Hydrogen production through offshore wind would improve the power system flexibility and safety, and could be used as renewable energy storage to achieve large-scale and long-term storage. Based on the market price and literature, the tech-economic comparison and evaluation are carried of onshore off-grid hydrogen production and offshore hydrogen production with pipeline from the levelized cost of hydrogen and internal rate of return. Based on the whole life cost, the levelized cost of hydrogen production through offshore with pipeline is lower and the CAPEX and OPEX of water electrolysis system have a significant impact on the LCOH. In terms of economy, offshore wind will obtain higher returns than offshore hydrogen production if all electricity could be imported to the power system.

    SHEN Qi, LI Ouping, LIU Chao, CHENG Guangyuan, YU Xichong
    Ocean Engineering Equipment and Technology    2024, 11 (1): 106-115.   DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2024.01.17
    Abstract275)      PDF(pc) (1237KB)(461)       Save
    This paper sorts out relevant engineering cases at home and abroad, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of physical energy storage and electrochemical energy storage in offshore applications based on three scenarios: the mandatory requirement of energy storage systems policy for large-scale offshore wind farms, energy storage for improving the penetration of offshore wind power into the grid for integrated development of offshore oil and gas and new energy, and energy storage for off-grid production of green hydrogen, green ammonia, and green methanol. Considering the technology maturity, safety, reliability, compactness, lightweight, economy, and other factors, the most suitable energy storage applied offshorely is still the LFP battery. In the future, considering the superiority of lithium titanate oxide (LTO) batteries in terms of safety, after the cost is reduced, the choice of LTO battery could be considered. But due to the low density of LTO battery, the volume and quality of the equipment are larger than that of LFP battery, and the layout of the offshore platform needs to be further considered. In addition, because there is no single energy storage system that can simultaneously have the characteristics of high power, large energy storage density, reliable safety, and long life cycle, the use of “flywheel+” and “supercapacitor+”hybrid energy storage system is considered, to maximize the shortcomings of a single energy storage method to make up for, to obtain a better performance of the energy storage system. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of new energy storage engineering applications at sea, it is suggested that further research and engineering application of technologies such as the intrinsic safety, safety monitoring and early warning of energy storage under the anti-sloshing conditions of floating facilities at sea should be carried out.

    Steel Lazy-wave Riser Installation Method Analysis
    TIAN Zhen, LEI Zhenming, CHEN Ye, HE Jianwen, LIU Song, ZHONG Yang
    Ocean Engineering Equipment and Technology    2024, 11 (1): 122-129.   DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2024.01.19
    Abstract252)      PDF(pc) (16905KB)(32)       Save
    Standard steel catenary riser form is vulnerable to yielding and fatigue damages at the touch down point (TDP) location in the ultra-deepwater environment. Steel lazy-wave riser (SLWR) introduces a buoyancy section into the standard riser form, which can reduce the stress near the hang-off region, and at the same time isolate the dynamic response of the floating platform from TDP region, so as to improve the fatigue life of riser. SLWR installations are analyzed and compared among S-LAY, J-LAY and R-LAY methods, based on a potential ultra-deepwater project in Gabon. The results show that for the riser without buoyancy section, all three laying methods have sufficient layability, and S-LAY is not feasible for laying the 12" SLWR buoyancy section limited by the capacity of HYSY201; J-LAY and R-LAY are found to be more appropriate for both normal laying and buoyancy section laying of 12" SLWR in 2100m water depth. In general, empty pipe condition is better than the flooded condition in terms of layability regardless of laying methods. The feasibility of SLWR laying by S-LAY method can be improved by reducing water depth, pipe size and optimizing buoyancy module design. For J-LAY and R-LAY installation methods, if pipe catenary with buoyancy module section in empty pipe condition has no interference with lay tower and vessel, SLWR can be laid in empty pipe condition.

    Marine hydrological information plays a significant role in development and exploration of marine resources. Temperature, salinity and depth are fundamental elements of marine hydrology. Monitoring of marine temperature, salinity and depth data plays an important role in the development and utilization of marine resources. The conductivity temperature depth profiler (CTD) is the main instrument for observing seawater temperature and salinity profiles. By using CTD sensors, parameters such as temperature and conductivity of seawater at different depths can be measured. In recent years, flexible electronic sensors have demonstrated great potential for application due to their excellent stretchability and easy attachment, which not only achieve the sensing performance of traditional rigid sensors to a certain extent, but also compensate for the shortcomings of traditional sensors such as large volume and weight. This review introduces the research progress of flexible ocean CTD sensors in recent years, mainly including the working mechanism and classification, common materials, manufacturing processes of flexible sensors, and analyzes the structure, performance, and application platform of existing flexible ocean CTD sensors. Finally, the development of flexible ocean CTD sensors is prospected.

    Undersea junction technology is one of the core technologies for building a cabled ocean observatory system, which connects multiple devices underwater to manage the power and information. The undersea junction technology started earlier in United States, Japan, Canada and other country, which gradually developed negative high-voltage single-stage DC power transmission, high-power power conversion, underwater wet plug, large-scale optical fiber communication networking and other technologies. Using modular design and multi-level junction box interconnection, large subsea observatory has been built in many sea areas. In the past decade, with the domestic development of offshore ocean observation system, junction box design and high voltage power transmission, remote communication and control technology has developed rapidly, the scientific nodes undersea junction boxes have been successfully applied in a number of sea areas, but has not yet formed a large observatory. Some of the deepwater key components such as underwater wet plug connectors, cables are mainly dependent on imports. While introducing and absorbing foreign advanced technology, the development of high-performance controllers, high-power conversion modules, underwater connectors and photoelectric complex cables will be a very important direction of the future junction boxes.

    In order to make full use of the high temperature exhaust gas of the main generator and realize energy saving and emission reduction, the waste heat recovery unit has been designed in the basic design stage in “Hai Yang Shi You 123”FPSO(Floating Production Storage and Offloading), but the waste heat and the heating medium circulation system of the boiler are completely independent, and can not be mutually standby, and the four heating medium circulation pumps of the waste heat are not connected to the emergency bus, which will lead to the black start of the FPSO. It is easy to cause local high temperature coking and carbonization of heating medium in the furnace tube of waste heat recovery unit, which affects the operation of the system. In order to solve the problem effectively, the scheme of adding the circulating pump of waste heat system into the emergency bus bar is proposed creatively, which can effectively avoid the occurrence of heating medium coking in the waste heat system during black start.

    Investigation on the Influence of Anchor Chain Length and Weight on the Motion Response of Floating Wind Turbine Platforms
    SUN Xiang, TIAN Zhenya, ZHU Ronghua
    Ocean Engineering Equipment and Technology    2024, 11 (1): 59-64.   DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2024.01.10
    Abstract177)      PDF(pc) (3492KB)(215)       Save
    Based on an actual engineering project involving a floating scale prototype, this article employs a timedomain analysis method to numerically simulate the transient response of a semi-submersible floating wind turbine platform. It extensively investigates the influence of varying anchor chain length and counterweight mass on the pre-tension of the mooring system and the motion response of the floating platform. The results indicate that the amplitude of pitch, heave, and surge responses of the floating platform initially increases and then decreases with an increase in mooring length. Increasing the mass of the counterweight leads to an initial increase and subsequent decrease in pitch and heave responses, while the surge response initially decreases and then increases. When simultaneously changing both the mooring length and counterweight mass, the counterweight mass does not affect the variation pattern of platform motion response caused by mooring length.

    The decision on wind sail angle is crucial for effectively harnessing wind energy in windassisted ships. During ship navigation, the wind sail generates both thrust and lateral thrust, causing ship yawing and reduced energy efficiency. To address this problem, this paper introduced a lateral thrust weight factor and established a bilinear angle decision function composed of the thrust coefficient and the lateral thrust coefficient. The function aimed to minimize the deviation angle of the optimal course and utilized the particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve for the optimal weight factor applicable to the specific route. This approach enables achieving optimal sail angles under different relative wind directions, allowing for windassisted ship navigation without relying on steering and avoiding course deviation. Compared to the traditional angle strategy based on the maximum thrust method, the proposed approach results in slight improvement in heading longitudinal displacement within the same navigation time, substantial reduction in sideways displacement and course deviation angle, and smoother angle variations during fluctuations in relative wind direction. These findings are beneficial for wind sail manipulation. This research provides insights to enhance the energy efficiency of wind-assisted ships.

    Rack phase difference may be produced in the process of positioning of truss-type Jack-up unit, which will cause a significant additional bending moment at the contact position between the legs and the main hull of the unit, resulting in buckling failure of the leg support pipe at the low guiding position of the hull. In the paper, a jack-up unit is taken as the research object, ANSYS software and birth-death element technology is used to forecast RPD value of jack-up unit in the process of lifting hull by 3-D time-domain numerical simulation analysis, which is divided into four main stages according to changes of RPD value. On this basis, the RPD variation characteristics under three wind speed conditions are analyzed, which is helpful to determine the impact of wind speed on RPD in the process of lifting hull. Finally, a set of RPD control method is proposed based on the law of the change of RPD and the stress of the leg in order to monitor RPD of platform leg.
