Abstract: Systems and methods for performing drill pipe motion compensation are disclosed. A system may include a drill pipe and a marine riser pipe, and the marine riser pipe may be configured to support the weight of a drill pipe. A pipe holder may be coupled to the drill pipe and the marine riser pipe and may be configured to suspend the drill pipe on the marine riser pipe. A drill pipe support system may be coupled to the pipe holder and the marine riser pipe. The drill pipe support system, together with the pipe holder, may be configured to transfer the weight of the drill pipe to the marine riser pipe. The system may also include a plurality of wires coupled to the marine riser pipe. One or more tensioners may be configured to compensate for motion on the drill pipe by controlling tension on one or more of the plurality of wires coupled to the marine riser pipe.

Abstract: An enhanced riser control system may employ electrical tensioners coupled to a drilling riser by wires. The electrical tensioners may provide quick response to a tension controller to handle positioning of the drilling riser. The electrical tensioners of the enhanced riser control system may be combined with hydro-pneumatic tensioners in a riser hybrid tensioning system. A controller within the enhanced riser control system may be configured to distribute tension to electrical tensioners and to control electrical tensioners to adjust the length of the first and second wires. The electrical tensioners may be used, for example, to suppress vortex-induced-vibration (VIV) and control drilling riser recoil.

Abstract: A riser data logging system can be installed on the riser top to provide real time information of the riser, instead of or in addition to relying on sensors installed on a tensioner. The riser recoil detection system can thus be made independent of any motion of the vessel. This logging system can feedback the riser top acceleration, velocity, position, and the wire-line tensions into a controller. By comparing the acceleration difference between the riser top and the vessel body, the controller can provide more reliable and faster detection of events occurring on a vessel, potentially detecting the condition within one second. If the acceleration exceeds a certain limit, the electrical tensioners are able to reduce the wire-line tension nearly instantaneously, providing a much more effective anti-recoil control that conventional hydro-pneumatic tensioners.

Abstract: A power system may include autonomous breakers coupling generators to a main bus. The autonomous breakers may detect deviation of power parameters of the main bus from a predetermined range and couple generators to the main bus to bring the power parameters within the predetermined range. Autonomous breakers may further couple loads to the main bus and may adjust loads to bring the power parameters back within the predetermined range. Breakers may also check for faults in buses and within themselves before closing and coupling power system components to each other.

Abstract translation: 提升板数据记录系统可以安装在提升板顶部，以提供提升板的实时信息，而不是依靠安装在张紧器上的传感器。 因此，立管反冲检测系统可以独立于容器的任何运动。 该测井系统可以将提升管顶部的加速度，速度，位置和线束张力反馈到控制器中。 通过比较提升管顶部和容器主体之间的加速度差异，控制器可以提供对船上发生的事件的更可靠和更快速的检测，可能在一秒内检测到该状况。 如果加速度超过一定限度，则电动张紧器能够几乎瞬时地减少线缆张力，从而为传统的液压气动张紧器提供更有效的防反冲控制。
