The invention discloses a multi-
propeller cooperative propulsion control method and
system for a ship, and relates to the technical field of ship
automation control. The cooperative propulsion control method is used for cooperatively controlling a plurality of propellers through a
control system of a ship to propel the ship and comprises the steps that the navigational speed of the ship, the position of a main
station handle and the available power of a
power station are obtained; identifying the current navigation condition of the ship based on the navigational speed and the main
station handle position; based on a preset matching relationship, obtaining an
operation mode matched with the navigation working condition; and on the basis of the navigation working conditions, the operation
modes and a preset switching control strategy among different navigation working conditions, the available power of the
power station is distributed to the multiple propellers, and cooperative propulsion of the ship is carried out. Thus, the navigation working condition is recognized based on the navigation speed and the position of the main
station handle, the
operation mode is matched, the available power of the
power station is distributed to the multiple propellers, the response speed of ship propulsion control is increased, the adaptability to the complex navigation environment is improved, and the
ship safety is improved.
