Abstract
Provided is an offshore crane heave compensation control system and method using video rangefinding to achieve heave compensation in a directly driven pump-controlled electro-hydraulic heave compensator. The heave compensation and the heave compensator are applicable for special operation and control requirements on a fixed offshore platform and allow the crane to achieve steady lifting of a load away from or lowering of a load on to a supply vessel without being influenced by the motion of the supply vessel caused by ocean currents, ocean winds, or ocean waves. Also provided is a test platform for the offshore crane heave compensation control system using video rangefinding. The test platform provides a realistic simulation for all lifting and lowering processes of an offshore platform crane in offshore environments to study the motion control of the provided system.
