船舶动力定位系统的非线性输出反馈控制

针对动力定位船舶的速度不可测问题,考虑带有环境扰动的动力定位船舶运动非线性数学模型,提出一个非线性观测器-控制器控制方案,实现仅依赖于船舶位置和艏向测量值的船舶动力定位的输出反馈控制,且其观测器具有分离的稳定性.应用串级非线性系统理论证明了最终的船舶动力定位输出反馈闭环系统是全局渐近稳定的,所设计的输出反馈控制律迫使船舶的位置及艏摇角全局渐近收敛于期望值.以一艘供给船为例进行仿真研究,结果验证了所设计的船舶动力定位输出反馈控制律的有效性.

Nonlinear Output Feedback Control of Dynamic Positioning System of Ships

In order to overcome the non-measurability of the velocity of dynamic positioning ships,a nonlinear observer-controller scheme with separate stability for the observer is proposed based on the nonlinear mathematical model of ship movement with environmental disturbances.The proposed scheme implements the output feedback control of ship dynamic positioning systems with position and orientation measurements only.The resulting output feedback closed-loop control system of dynamic positioning ships is proved to be globally and asymptotically stable by applying the cascaded nonlinear system theory,and the designed output feedback control law forces the ship position and orientation to globally and asymptotically converge to their desired values.Simulation results on a supply ship verify the effectiveness of the proposed output control law for the dynamic positioning of ships.
