Consideration of Collision Damage in FPSO Structural Design
Abstract: AbstractA collision event may be catastrophic for an offshore facility or a floating production, storage and offloading unit (FPSO). Depending on the size and speed of the impacting ship, anything from damage to hull rupture, oil pollution, flooding, loss of buoyancy, capsizing, and sinking may occur. Supply vessels and tankers frequently visit the FPSO to transport consumables and chemicals and, consequently, there is a risk of collision between two structures. …

Strength Analysis of Topside Supports on FPSO Hull
Abstract: AbstractThis paper is performed to determine strength and endurance capacity of topside supports and underlying hull structure on Floating Production Storage Offloading (FPSO) platform. Support stools shall be installed on every intersection between longitudinal bulkheads and transverse frames. Strictly, the analysis is relevant to topside supports and hull structure in the mid-ship area away from the moon-pool, but modification of the results to be representative for the moon-pool area is …

Electricity Generation by Fuel Cell Using Hydrogen Produced From Steam-Reforming
Abstract: With the growing need of hydrogen, it is required to search for other large-scale hydrogen production option(s) which are feasible too. Since, the inception of Electric Vehicles and exposure to the advantages of fuel cell, the requirement of hydrogen is about to see a steepness in the ‘requirement- curve’. Fuel processed from fossils when used pollutes environment to a great extent. In this paper, we discuss about other option of …

A Review on Development of Ocean Energy Technologies
Abstract: The potential for marine energy to make contributions to justifying the effect of climate change is anticipated to increase significantly in the longer term. Marine energy generation technologies, including offshore wind, wave, tidal, marine current, and ocean thermal energy generation, which are considered essential to meet long-term aim of minimizing CO2 emissions, have practiced rapid development and significant progresses over the past few years. The present article offers a judicious …

A Study on Tidal Power & Its Scope in India
Abstract: Tidal Energy is one of the future energy generation sources for India as it could result in economic green progress of the country with minimal carbon emission. The Tidal energy technology is at nascent stage if status of renewable energy generation in India is considered. In case of India, there is tremendous scope for the tidal energy because it has a very vast coastline. This paper presents a basic review …
