Abstract: |
One of the effects of the
radically changing energy market is the construction of more and more
offshore wind turbines. Many new companies with different levels of
experience are entering the market to meet the demand of renewable energy. To
this end, we introduce a distributed simulative approach for verifying a
safety concept for offshore missions to support the involved companies. In
this paper, we present our vision of the emerging simulation environment and
introduce the components that we currently work on. More precisely, we introduce
a Physical World Simulator (PWS) that allows the simulation of the
environment, persons, and resources of offshore operations. The simulator can
be interconnected to other simulators and to a Failure and Hazard Observer
(FHO) which we also present in the paper. The
observer tracks the occurrence of hazards and thus checks if they have been considered
while creating a safety concept for an offshore mission. We use the High
Level Architecture (HLA) as the simulator communication interface for which
we developed a helper library which also extends its
features while maintaining compatibility with the standard. The simulation framework
enables us to automatically verify the safety concept by performing
simulation runs and injecting identified failures. |
