[0043] S3. Establishing a mapping relationship between monitoring data and overall horizontal force of the platform in the deepwater jacket;
[0044] S4. Use the deepwater jacket overall horizontal force intelligent prediction algorithm based on physical characteristics to accurately predict the overall horizontal force of the deepwater jacket platform. This step specifically includes the following sub-steps:
[0045] S4.1 Build a database of the platform's overall performance characteristic dataset, and divide the total dataset into a training set, a validation set, and a test set;
[0046] S4.2 takes the combined loads of wind, wave and current ocean environment as the model input and the overall horizontal force of the deepwater jacket as the model output;
[0047] S4.3 Construct a CNN prediction model structure consisting of an input layer, a convolutional layer, a dropout layer, a fully connected layer, and an output layer;
[0048] S4.4 combines the prediction model and the database to iteratively train the CNN prediction model, including steps such as parameter initialization, backpropagation, parameter update, and cross-validation;
[0049] S4.5 evaluates and optimizes the overall horizontal force prediction model of the deepwater jacket platform through the above steps to obtain the optimal hyperparameters of the model;
[0050] S4.6 uses the trained deepwater jacket platform overall horizontal force prediction model and uses MAE, RMSE, and MAPE evaluation indicators to evaluate and test the overall horizontal force of the deepwater jacket platform under marine environmental loads such as wind, waves, and currents, proving the rationality of the designed model. Figure 1 This is a flowchart for constructing a dataset of physical characteristics of the platform's overall horizontal forces. By building a high-precision overall indicator prediction model, we achieve accurate prediction of the overall horizontal forces of deepwater jacket platforms under ocean loads such as wind, waves, and currents. During implementation, the collected data on deepwater jacket platforms under different ocean loads is first normalized to meet the input requirements of the CNN model. Next, the platform's overall horizontal forces are extracted from the dataset of overall platform performance characteristics.
[0051] The CNN model architecture consists of an input layer, two convolutional layers, two dropout layers, a fully connected layer, and an output layer. The convolutional layers use one-dimensional convolutions with kernels of 1x3 to accommodate the scale of the data features. In these layers, local features are extracted by sliding the kernels across the input feature map. To improve the model's generalization, two dropout layers are added instead of pooling layers.
[0052] After training is complete, use the trained CNN model to predict the test data and compare the predicted values with the actual values to evaluate the model's accuracy. Use metrics such as MAE and RMSE to test and evaluate model performance. Based on the evaluation results, adjust the model structure or hyperparameters to improve prediction accuracy.
