- Abstract
For ensuring the operational safety of offshore service vessels (OSVs) during critical operations, marine classification agencies recommend operating redundant diesel generators (DGs) as a spinning reserve for dynamic positioning (DP) systems. In view of the reduced fuel efficiency and increased emissions of DG sets when operated at low loads, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are preferred as a green choice to serve the class-recommended DP power backup for 12 min. Based on the on-demand reliability analysis and Li-ion battery failure models, it is identified that an OSV with a 1.6-MW-capacity DP system requires 538 kWh of Li-ion battery power to reliably replace a spinning DG set in serving power backup for 12 min. Based on the IEC61508/11 health, safety, and environment framework, the methodology to identify the OSV risk under various operational conditions and the battery system minimum maintenance interval requirements to meet various safety integrity levels are described.
