Modelling of lake waves to simulate environmental disturbance to a scale ship model

Rak Andrzej, Miller Anna

12--21

In the development of ship motion control systems, software simulations or scale model experiments in pools or open water are very often carried out in the verification and testing stages. This paper describes the process of building a software wave simulator based on data gathered on the Silm Lake near Iława, Poland, where scale ship models are used for research and training. The basis of the simulator structure is a set of shaping filters fed with Gaussian white noise. These filters are built in the form of transfer functions generating irregular wave signals for different input wind forces. To enable simulation of a wide range of wind speeds, nonlinear interpolation is used. The lake wave simulation method presented in this paper fills a gap in current research, and enables accurate modelling of characteristic environmental disturbances on a small lake for motion control experiments of scale model ships.

Model predictive ship trajectory tracking system based on line of sight method

Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) perfectly fit into the future vision of merchant fleet. MASS autonomous navigation system combines automatic trajectory tracking and supervisor safe trajectory generation subsystems. Automatic trajectory tracking method, using line-of-sight (LOS) reference course generation algorithm, is combined with model predictive control (MPC). Algorithm for MASS trajectory tracking, including cooperation with the dynamic system of safe trajectory generation is described. It allows for better ship control with steady state cross-track error limitation to the ship hull breadth and limited overshoot after turns. In real MASS ships path is defined as set of straight line segments, so transition between trajectory sections when passing waypoint is unavoidable. In the proposed control algorithm LOS trajectory reference course is mapped to the rotational speed reference value, which is dynamically constrained in MPC controller due to dynamically changing reference trajectory in real MASS system. Also maneuver path advance dependent on the path tangential angle difference, to ensure trajectory tracking for turns from 0 to 90 degrees, without overshoot is used. All results were obtained with the use of training ship in real–time conditions.
