Response control of FPSO using multiple tuned liquid dampers
Abstract The Floating Production Storage and Off-loading (FPSO) vessels are being used
widely in offshore industries. The motion of FPSO subjected extreme sea condition needs to
be controlled in order to maintain the station keeping of the vessel. The crude oil containers
of an FPSO can be utilized as passive dampers for controlling the response of FPSO. These
containers can act as Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD) if the natural frequency of the liquid
oscillation in containers is tuned to the natural frequency of FPSO. FPSO container (tank) …
