Design Methodology Based on H∞ Control Theory for Marine Propulsion System with Bumpless Transfer Function
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we propose a control system design methodology which has two main objectives: the first one is to achieve control system specifications for a local H∞ controller designed for a given operation condition, and the second objective is to provide a procedure for bumpless transfer (BLT) when the controller is switched to another one, due to change in the operation condition, or when the controller is retuned by a plant operator. For that, the design procedure calculates a feedback H-controller (FB-HC) and an associated bump-less transfer H-controller (BLT-HC). The method is implemented in an auto-tuning procedure, where both pretuning controllers (FB-HC and BLT-HC) are obtained in a systematic manner. Controllers fine-tuning can be carried out by a plant operator using two tuning parameters and several tuning rules. Our design methodology is applied to a marine propulsion system with diesel engine used as propeller prime-mover. Due to different operation regimens of ship propulsion, several linear controllers are designed for different operating points, switching (with bumpless-transfer) between them when is necessary; which enables the system to be controlled satisfactorily within the whole of its operating range. Satisfactory results are obtained by simulations with the nonlinear model of a merchant ship, and our hardware in the loop simulation (HILS) environment is described. Key-Words: ship propulsion system, H controller, bumpless transfer

This dissertation mainly focuses on implementation techniques for adaptive switching control. Adaptive switching control can generate bad transients in controller output. These bad transients can be reduced by various bumpless transfer techniques. A new bumpless transfer technique is developed based on slow-fast controller decomposition. This technique is especially well-suited to situations in...
