Abstract:
Stress reducing system and associated method for reducing stresses at a desired position in an offshore production or drilling system, the offshore production or drilling system comprising: a seabed structure, a floating structure and a riser ( 24 ) extending there between, the riser being tensioned, the riser ( 24 ) comprising at least a first part ( 45 ) and a second part ( 46 ), which second part ( 46 ) is connected to the first part ( 45 ) via a flexible connection ( 20 ) allowing an axial, angular and/or rotational movement between the first and second parts ( 45, 46 ), said stress reducing system comprises:—a first sensor ( 41 ) for real-time monitoring of stresses at the desired position, positioned at or close to the desired position ( 20 ),—an actuating system ( 42 ) arranged at the flexible connection ( 20,  the actuating system ( 42 ) being connected to said first and second parts ( 45, 46 ), and wherein the actuating system ( 45, 46 ) is configured to apply a force to the first or second part ( 45, 46 ) when the first and second parts ( 45, 46 ) are moved out of a neutral position,—a control system ( 40 ) adapted to receive monitoring data from the first sensor ( 41 ), wherein the control system ( 40 ) is connected to the actuating system ( 42 ) and is able of providing instruction signals to the actuating system ( 42 ), wherein the control system ( 40 ), based on said monitoring data from the first sensor ( 41 ), is able to calculate a real-time set of data for control of the applied force of the actuating system ( 42 ) and instructing the actuating system ( 42 ) to act accordingly, such as to reduce the stress at said desired position.

Claim (Index 1):
A stress reducing system for reducing stresses at a desired position in an offshore production or drilling system, the offshore production or drilling system comprising a seabed structure, a floating structure and a riser extending between the seabed structure and the floating structure, the riser being tensioned and comprising at least a first part and a second part which is connected to the first part via a first flexible connection which is configured to allow axial, angular and/or rotational movement between the first and second parts, said stress reducing system comprising:\n a first sensor which is configured to provide real-time monitoring of stresses at the desired position, the first sensor being positioned at or close to the desired position; an actuating system which is arranged at the flexible connection, the actuating system being connected to said first and second parts and being configured to apply a force to at least one of the first and second parts when the first and second parts are moved out of a neutral position relative to each other; a control system which is adapted to receive monitoring data from the first sensor, wherein the control system being connected to the actuating system and being configured to apply instruction signals to the actuating system; wherein the control system is configured to calculate, based on said monitoring data from the first sensor, a real-time set of data for control of the applied force of the actuating system and instruct the actuating system to act accordingly so as to reduce stress at said desired position.
