Controllab has conducted a comprehensive simulation study on installing monopiles with a dynamically positioned (DP) crane vessel, offering a faster alternative to traditional jack-up or moored vessels. The study focused on evaluating forces, torques, power, and stability of the motion-compensated pile gripper, essential for keeping monopiles upright during placement and hammering. Using 3D simulation models, Controllab analyzed the dynamic interactions of the vessel, crane, and gripper, and optimized the control system for stability, performance, and safety.

With Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation, Controllab can test control software under real-world conditions, ensuring precise operation before deployment. Download the factsheet to learn more about these innovative solutions!
