Unmanned ship based on wind energy driving and navigation control method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an unmanned ship based on wind energy driving. The unmanned ship comprises a ship body. A rudder is arranged on the tail portion of the ship body. The ship body is internally provided with a navigation control system. The unmanned ship further comprises a solar energy power supply system, environment sensing equipment and a positioning device. The solar energy power supply system comprises solar energy cell panels and an energy storage device. The output end of the energy storage device is connected with the environment sensing equipment, the positioning device and the navigation control system. The navigation control system comprises a shipborne processor and a PID controller, wherein the shipborne processor is used for planing a route according to the collected information of the environment sensing equipment, the real-time positioning information of the positioning device and a preset task key position, and the PID controller is used for controlling angles and rudder angles between a mainsail and the wind direction as well as between a fore sail and the wind direction according to the result of the shipborne processor. An ancient water vehicle, namely, the sailing ship is utilized, and the wind energy is utilized to serve as driving force, so that zero discharging of pollutants is achieved, and the long-time continuous voyage can be guaranteed. By adjusting the position and the angle of the wind sails, smooth navigating can be carried out even under the headwind situation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of maritime safety, and in particular relates to an unmanned ship driven by wind energy and a navigation control method thereof. Background technique [0002] The measurement and monitoring of islands, reefs, rivers, waterways, reservoirs, and harbor areas can be completed by using various equipment carried on the ship. The maritime department or related institutions can use the obtained measurement data for topography mapping, flow velocity calculation, and distress monitoring. Ship or personnel search and rescue, etc. However, today's above-mentioned tasks are all performed manually. When the long-distance remote control ship is operating, the operator may make mistakes in judgment due to factors such as line of sight or control distance, resulting in risks. [0003] With the development of intelligent control technology, the maritime sector and related institutions are paying more and more attention to unmanned s...
