For the purpose of researching the displacement control system of heave compensation for offshore drilling platform, a set of crane-type active and passive combined heave compensation device are designed on the basis of the similarity principle, As it known that platform heaving will be caused by the wind, sea wave and ocean current when conducting the drilling operations on the offshore drilling platform, which then will disturb the drilling operation. Therefore, the compensation device must be adopted to keep the vertical relative motion between the drill string system and the drilling platform to zero during the operation. Meanwhile, to improve the real-time performance of the heave compensation, the control system is optimized by establishing the simulation model of the active-passive combined crane, and LS-SVM(Least Squares Support Vector Machine) is improved by the artificial immune algorithm to predict the motion trend of offshore platforms. Eventually, in order to acquire the best control scheme, the Proportion Integration Differentiation (PID), fuzzy PID, BP neural network PID control method are utilized to carry out the simulation analysis, and the BP neural network PID control is found to be optimum. Experiments showed that after using the BP neural network PID control algorithm, the displacement compensation rate of hook for active-passive combined crane device is more than 90%, the performance of the heave compensation is better, and the control is in time.
The metal magnetic memory detection technology can detect early stress concentration and invisible damage of the pipeline. It can be detected under the action of the geomagnetic field, without the need to magnetize the pipeline in advance, which has the advantage of non-destructive testing. Since the magnetic memory signal is relatively weak, the actual detected signal will be affected by environmental noise, sensor jitter, and pipeline surface deposits. Therefore, the magnetic memory signal needs to be denoised. In this article, the translation invariant wavelet denoising method, which is improved based on the wavelet threshold denoising method, is used to denoise the collected pipeline magnetic memory signals. The experimental results show that the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) obtained by this method is 1.15% higher than the unmodified wavelet threshold denoising, and the signal obtained is more stable. To solve the problem of fewer data samples for magnetic memory detection, three methods including support vector regression machine, back propagation (BP) neural network, and particle swarm optimization multiple output least-squares support vector regression (MLS-SVR) are compared and analyzed to inverse the overall defect size of pipeline defects. The experiments show that the MLS-SVR inversion result based on particle swarm optimization is the best, and the overall mean square error reaches 0.27 mm. In the end, a pipeline damage detection system is built to detect the magnetic memory signals of pipelines with different sizes of defects, and the defect depth and radius are inverted.
