Discrete Time Variable Structure Control for the Dynamic Positioning of an Offshore Supply Vessel
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a Discrete-Time Variable-Structure Control (DTVSC) for the dynamic positioning system of a marine supply vessel. The DTVSC guarantees robustness with respect to disturbances and parametric variations. Two wave-filtering approaches are employed: the Extended Kalman filter (EKF) and the multi-rate Kalman filter (MREKF) . The proposed solution is compared with a PID-based control and a passive non-linear wave filter. The reported simulations show that the proposed solution produces better performances and it is robust in the presence of input disturbances and model uncertainties.

This paper presents a new model of two-echelon periodic supply vessel planning problem with time windows mix of facility location (PSVPTWMFL-2E) in an offshore oil and gas industry. The new mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) modelconsists ofa fleet composition problem and a location-routing problem (LRP). The aim of the model is to determine the size and type of large vessels in the fi...
متن کاملUnderactuated dynamic positioning of a ship-experimental results
The paper considers the dynamic positioning problem for a ship having only two independent controls, namely surge force and yaw moment. A time-varying feedback control law including integral action is developed and proved to exponentially stabilize both the North and East positions and the orientation of the ship. Experimental results are presented where the controller is implemented on a model...

Evolving models have found applications in many real world systems. In this paper, potentials of the Evolving Linear Models (ELMs) in tracking control design for nonlinear variable structure systems are introduced. At first, an ELM is introduced as a dynamic single input, single output (SISO) linear model whose parameters as well as dynamic orders of input and output signals can change through ...

متن کاملFleet sizing for offshore supply vessels
Supply vessels provide offshore installations with necessary supplies on periodic basis from an onshore base according to weekly sailing plans. Each plan is built for a certain time horizon to guarantee required level of service to offshore installations at least cost. In a sailing plan several voyages are assigned to each vessel. The execution of sailing plans is affected by stochastic weather...
