Daylighting is core of sustainable design in most buildings. Well-designed daylighting systems can significantly reduce or even eliminate the electric lighting loads during the day time, including air conditioning energy loads. Among window systems. the topside lights systems including monitor lighting, sawtooth lighting, sunscoop and, lightscoop is one of the most popular apparatus to improve the lighting quantity. Also they are important both in terms of energy savings and visual quality. The objective of this study is to analyse daylighting performance of topside lighting system for different orientations. Four types of topside lighting system were tested and comparpd: monitor lighting, sawtooth lighting, lightscoop and sunscoop. Totally 25 measuring points of illuminance on the horizontal plane were monitored from 09:00 to 17:00 on October 6, 2008. Agilent data logger and photometric sensors Li-cor were used. Comparisons with a light factor is discussed. The results found in this study would mean that there were no significant differences in light factor between three cases.

본 논문은 해양플랜트 입찰단계에서 시스템엔지니어링(Systems Engineering)기법을 이용하여 해양플랜트를 구성하고 있는 장비 배치를 검증(Verification)할 수 있는 검증수행모델에 대한 연구이다. 해양플랜트 상부구조물(Topside) 유지보수 장비들을 엔지니어링하기 위하여는 Topside 장비 Layout검증이 선행되어야 한다. 하지만 입찰단계에서 완성도가 높지않는 FEED(Front End Engineering Design)결과물로 인한 많은 오류가 존재함에도 불구하고 검토시간의 부족 등의 이유로 검증을 수행하지 못하는 경우가 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다학제간 접근방식인 시스템엔지니어링 프로세스를 간략화하여 적용함으로써 제한된 시간내 효과적으로 장비배치를 검증할 수 있는 검증수행모델을 제안하였다. 모델의 구성은 기능전개모델(Functional Deployment Model)을 통하여 구축하였으며 사례연구를 통하여 본 Topside 장비 배치에 대한 검증 수행모델을 검증하였다.

Daylighting systems can improve the luminous quality of indoor environment and reduce the building's electric lighting energy consumption. For designing good daylighting, place the light where it is desired and avoid excessive contrasts, glare and high light levels. Sun scoop, light scoop and sun catcher systems have been used for alternative systems compared to other natural lighting systems. This study aims to evaluate daylighting performance of sun scoop, light scoop and sun catcher systems using scale model experiments. For the purpose, the 1/10 scale models of the systems were made as the same areas of glazing(10 percent of floor area) on the top of the center roof. Totally 15 measuring points of illuminance on the horizontal work plane were monitored from 09:30 to 12:30 on October 29, 2007. Agilent data logger and photometric sensors Li-cor were used. As the results, the topside lighting systems can improve the illumination uniformity than side lighting and top lighting. However, the appropriated shading system should be integrated to prevent the direct sunlight.

The float over method is the most preferred method for installing heavy topside onto a jacket platform. A very complex platform with multiple jacket structures on a specific field requires multiple installation procedures. This study validated the installation of two topsides using a single installation barge to reduce the operation and installation cost. The hydrodynamic properties of the installation barge during the installation of two topsides were calculated. The tension and fender forces during docking were investigated to show the validity of the proposed dual topside installation method. In conclusion, the operational safety of the proposed procedure was validated through the calculation of the motion of the installation vessel and loads on the jacket legs.

해양 CCS는 화력발전소에서 배출되는 $CO_2$를 포집하여 해양 지중의 대수층이나, 고갈 유가스전까지 수송하여 저장하는 기술이다. 시간 경과에 따라 지중 저장소로 주입 및 저장되는 $CO_2$의 누적 양이 증가하며, 이는 저류층 압력의 상승을 동반한다. 저류층 압력의 상승은 수송 및 주입 시스템의 운전조건 변화를 유발한다. 따라서 초기 설계단계에서 이러한 사업시간의 경과에 따른 운전조건 변화를 반영한 분석이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 국내 동해 대륙붕에 위치한 가스전을 $CO_2$ 저장소로 활용할 경우 시간 경과에 따른 해양 수송 및 주입 시스템 내 $CO_2$ 거동을 수치해석적 방법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 전체 시스템을 해저 파이프라인, 라이저, 탑사이드, 주입정으로 구성하고, 이를 OLGA 2014.1을 이용하여 모델링 및 해석하였다. 약 10년의 주입 운전기간동안 해저 파이프라인, 라이저, 탑사이드, 주입정에서의 $CO_2$ 압력과 온도, 상거동의 변화를 분석하였다. 이를 통해 해저 파이프라인 입구 압축기, 탑사이드 열교환기 및 주입정 정두 제어 등의 설계 방안을 제시하였다.

In this study, the optimal operating conditions for the dual mixed refrigerant(DMR) cycle were determined by considering the power efficiency. The DMR cycle consists of compressors, heat exchangers, seawater coolers, valves, phase separators, tees, and common headers, and the operating conditions include the equipment's flow rate, pressure, temperature, and refrigerant composition per flow. First, a mathematical model of the DMR cycle was formulated in this study by referring to the results of a past study that formulated a mathematical model of the single mixed refrigerant(SMR) cycle, which consists of compressors, heat exchangers, seawater coolers, and valves, and by considering as well the tees, phase separators, and common headers. Finally, in this study, the optimal operating conditions from the formulated mathematical model was obtained using a hybrid optimization method that consists of the genetic algorithm(GA) and sequential quadratic programming(SQP). Moreover, the required power at the obtained conditions was decreased by 1.4% compared with the corresponding value from the past relevant study of Venkatarathnam.

Floatover technology has been widely used in offshore installation, which has many substantial advantages compared with the traditional derrick barge. During the topside offloading of a twin-barge floatover installation, the transport barge is side by side moored between two floatover barges. In this paper, the twin-barge model with the connecting hawsers and pneumatic fenders is established. Coupled dynamic analysis is carried out to investigate the motions of the barges under wind, wave and current environments. Particular attention is paid to the effects on system responses with different frictional performance of fender, axial stiffness of the hawsers and environmental conditions. The research results can be used for optimizing the parameters of the system and reducing the risk of topside offloading.

A layout of an LNG FPSO should be elaborately determined as compared with that of an onshore plant because many topside process systems are installed on the limited area; the deck of the LNG FPSO. Especially, the layout should be made as multi-deck, not single-deck and have a minimum area. In this study, a multi-floor layout for the liquefaction process, the dual mixed refrigerant(DMR) cycle, of LNG FPSO was determined by using the optimization technique. For this, an optimization problem for the multi-floor layout was mathematically formulated. The problem consists of 589 design variables representing the positions of topside process systems, 125 equality constraints and 2,315 inequality constraints representing limitations on the layout of them, and an objective function representing the total layout cost. To solve the problem, a hybrid optimization method that consists of the genetic algorithm(GA) and sequential quadratic programming(SQP) was used in this study. As a result, we can obtain a multi-floor layout for the liquefaction process of the LNG FPSO which satisfies all constraints related to limitations on the layout.

Fire is a continuous threat to FPSO topside modules as large amounts of oil and gas are passing through the modules. As a conventional measure to mitigate structural failure under fire, passive fire protection (PFP) coatings are widely used on main structural members. However, an excessive use of PFP coatings can cause considerable cost for material purchase, installation, inspection and maintenance. Long installation time can be a risk since the work should be done nearly at the last fabrication stage. Thus, the minimal use of PFP can be beneficial to the reduction of construction cost and the avoidance of schedule delay. This paper presents a few case studies on how different applications of PFP have influence on collapse time of a FPSO module structure. A series of heat analysis and thermal elasto-plastic FE analysis are performed for different PFP coatings and the resultant collapse time and the amount of PFP coatings are compared with each other.
