Experimental Results of Supply Ship Autopilot Optimisation Using Genetic Algorithms

چکیده
The optimisation by Genetic Algorithm (GA) of a non-linear autopilot for ship course changing is studied in this paper. The theory of the optimisation technique is presented from its basis in Darwinian evolution to the development of the form of optimisation algorithm used in the application. This application involves a Sliding Mode (SM) controller for use as a course changing autopilot for a scale model of a supply ship. The GA optimised simulation results are presented and post-optimisation evaluation is carried out through further simulations and trials in a model ship testing tank. From the evaluation of the optimised autopilot the GA and SM control law are shown to be effective design methodologies for control implementation.

Parameter Optimisation of a Non-linear Tanker Control System using Genetic Algorithms
The optimisation of a non-linear control problem by Genetic Algorithm (GA) is studied in this paper. It involves the performance of a fully autonomous control system for regulating the course keeping manoeuvres of an oil tanker. This control system consists of an autopilot and a Sliding Mode Controller (SMC). The GA is used to optimise the performance of the complete system by optimising the pa...
متن کاملEvaluation of Moonpool Effects on Hydrodynamic Resistance of a Supply Vessel, Using Experimental and Numerical Methods
Moonpool is an opening in the floor or base of a hull ship which can be used to lower tools and vehicles into the sea in a protected area. In this paper, the effect of a rectangular cross section moonpool on the resistance force of a supply vessel was investigated both by experimental and numerical methods. For both methods a 1:37.2 scale of Caspian3 surface vessel was used. Experiments were ca...
متن کاملComparison of Ducted and Non-Ducted Ship Propellers with Constraints Consideration Using Genetic Algorithm
In recent years, in spite of progressing in the ship propulsion system, many problems are required to work in order to gain highest performance. Optimization of propeller system, as the most important and applicable in this type of systems is of special importance. In many vessels, due to their certain conditions design, ducted propeller is used. Genetic algorithm is a powerful method for findi...
متن کاملHigh Performance Ship Autopilot With Wave FilterThor
This paper describes the application of Lyapunov stability theory to automatic steering of ships. The motivation for using nonlinear control theory is that nonlinearities can be compensated for in a systematic manner. For instance, this allows the designer to design the autopilot system for a ship described by the nonlinear models of Norrbin (1963) and Bech and Wagner Smith (1969) both utilizin...
متن کاملGlobal Supply Chain Management under Carbon Emission Trading Program Using Mixed Integer Programming and Genetic Algorithm
In this paper, the transportation problem under the carbon emission trading program ismodelled by mathematical programming and genetic algorithm. Since green supply chain issuesbecome important and new legislations are taken into account, carbon emissions costs are included inthe total costs of the supply chain. The optimisation model has the ability to minimise the total costsand provides the ...
