Description
Understanding the Dynamic Positioning System is crucial for professionals operating or maintaining DP systems. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the DP system, explaining how it functions and the six degrees of movement it controls. The system's seven components are also detailed, including how they interact and how the controller manages thruster output. The book's interactive approach is enhanced by questions and answers addressing various aspects of the subject, using Bloom's taxonomy of understanding, applying, and evaluating. Chapters four to fifteen cover a range of topics, including basic DP system functioning, sensor operation, and testing, as well as automation, networking, and operational questions. By covering these topics, this book aims to provide a solid foundation for DP professionals, helping them to better understand and work with the system.
