AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the control process of dynamically positioned vessels, the amplitude saturation and failure of actuators seriously affect the control performance of the vessel and may even lead to accidents. Existing technologies are unable to effectively solve these factors.

Method used

An adaptive control system is designed, including a guidance system, a measurement system, an estimator, an adaptive controller, a saturation compensator, and an actuator. By comprehensively considering the amplitude saturation and failure of the actuator, the control commands are optimized using radial basis neural networks and minimum learning parameter theory to ensure safe navigation of the ship.

Benefits of technology

This technology improves the control performance of dynamically positioned vessels under the constraints of actuators, reduces the saturation time of actuators, enhances control accuracy and robustness, and ensures the safe navigation of the vessels.
