Modeling, Simulation and Control for Marine Crane Operations

2020

Master's thesis in Mechatronics (MAS500) Marine cranes play an important part in offshore operations. They are expected to perform awide range of different tasks, such as handling the load safely offshore. Nowadays, the offshoreoil fields and wind farms are detected and developed, thus more and more offshore platforms arebuilt. The scale and capacity of crane vessels are developing rapidly to fulfill the construction needof offshore platforms and offshore wind farms. Heavy crane, placed on-board vessel, is affected byvessel motions induced by environmental forces such as wind, waves and current, and vice versa.Therefore, the investigation of coupled dynamics between heavy crane and vessel, …
