What will I learn?
You will gain a thorough understanding of DP system architecture, position reference technologies, and thruster control principles. The course covers power plant configurations, failure mode analysis, and blackout prevention strategies critical to safe offshore operations. You will work through DP control theory, including PID tuning, Kalman filtering, and model-based approaches. Operational procedures, watch-keeping responsibilities, and alarm management are addressed in detail. You will also learn to conduct capability assessments, develop Watch Station Operations Guidelines, and manage DP incidents using the worst-case failure design concept. Advanced topics include AI applications, cybersecurity threats, and autonomous DP technologies.
