Abstract

A program to determine the performance of heave compensator systems under actual at-sea working conditions has been undertaken. As a result of this test program, parameters have been determined for heave compensation systems that will allow design of these systems with preestablished performance goals. A description of the methods used to determine the coefficients that control system performance is presented and equations are given to determine system response to the full spectrum of envisioned working conditions.
