Quadratic Programming Thrust Allocation and Management for Dynamic Positioning Ships
نویسندگان
چکیده
To solve the complex thrust allocation problems of dynamic positioning ship with azimuth thrusters, the quadratic programming thrust allocation and management system was built. The power optimal thrust allocation was formulated as a quadratic programming problem by the linear treatments of inequality constraints and the optimal solution could be found in a finite amount of time. And some influence factors of thruster allocation were separated from algorithms and treated as a superstratum management module. In this system, online adjustment of input constraints and singularity avoidance could be realized, and the reliability and adaptability of thrust allocation were improved consequently. Finally, the validity and excellent performance of this method was proved by the simulation.

Optimal Thrust Allocation Methods for Dynamic Positioning of Ships
The first Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems emerged in the 1960’s from the need for deep water drilling by the offshore oil and gas industry, as conventional mooring systems, like a jack-up barge or an anchored rig, can only be used in shallow waters. GustoMSC has been developing DP drill ships since the early 1970’s and it is still one of their core businesses. DP systems automatically control ...

Vessels conducting dynamic positioning (DP) operations are usually equipped with thruster configurations that enable generation of resultant force and moment in any direction. These configurations are deliberately redundant in order to reduce the consequences of thruster failures and increase the safety. On such vessels a thrust allocation system must be used to distribute the control actions d...

Transient power control in dynamic positioning - governor feedforward and dynamic thrust allocation
A thrust allocation algorithm with capability to assist the power management system on a vessel with diesel-electric propulsion has recently been proposed. In the work presented here, the results show that the use of this thrust allocation algorithm produces a signi cant improvement in the stability of the electric bus frequency in the presence of large power load variations, as long as those l...
