Multi-Objective Optimization Based on TTR Interference Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Riser interference has become a critical issue in riser design with the progression of offshore industry into deep water. It indicates that the potential for interference between Top Tension Risers (TTR) depends not only on the Top Tension Factor (TTF), but also on the riser spacing size. For riser system, each impassive factor of interference could make a different effect (cost and safety), which is often incompatible. A Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) method is proposed to harmonize the two incompatible objectives: cost and safety. Therefore, it greatly facilitates to adapt the present method to riser interference optimization. Example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.
