Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
1. Extend the integrated ship control concept to allow for adaptive features. 2. Introduce compatible monitoring and fault diagnosis system. 3. Include functions not currently available (ship positioning, emission control). 4. Provide theoretical framework and supporting software suite. (1) To produce a second level control strategy to coordinate and optimise the control functions of the surge subsystem, sway and yaw subsystem, roll subsystem and engine subsystem. To develop the strategy to incorporate adaptive features into the integrated system. (2) To produce an integrated simulation suite for the low level and supervisory control system. This task requires the addition of new modular functions to the existing interactive simulation packages. (3) To produce a supervisory control management system,which includes energy minimisation and fault monitoring (4) To introduce adaptive capabilities into the existing robust regulating loop schemes for autopilot, shaft speed controller and roll stabilization. To produce the software to implement the adaptive features by enhancing the total ship control package. (5) To design a regulator and to produce guidelines for the scope of such a system and the benefits to be gained from more effective use of information flows in both supervisory level and regulating loop levels.
