Abstract

Recently, electric propulsion systems are used for unmanned surface vehicle, fish finder boat, etc. Some of these propulsion systems can be constructed of two electric motors and propellers for advanced impellent force. In this case, the speed difference generated between two propellers, namely, the synchronous error has a bad influence on the energy efficiency and course error. In this study, a synchronous control system is designed to restrain synchronous error caused by disturbance and mismatched dynamic characteristics. The control system is composed of the reference model, pre-filters, speed controllers, and synchronous controllers. The reference model is used for calculating the decoupled synchronous error and control input for each propulsion system. The pre-filters and speed controllers are designed in order that the propulsion system may follow the reference signal without overshoot and input saturation. And the synchronous controllers are designed from the viewpoint of stable and quick synchronization through root locus mothed approach. Finally, the simulation results show that the designed control system is effective for the disturbance.

최근, 전기추진시스템은 무인선, 어군탐지선 등에 활용되고 있다. 이 추진시스템 중에는 추진력 향상을 위해 두 대의 전기모터와 프로펠러로 구성된 경우가 있다. 이때 두 프로펠러 간의 속도 차에 해당하는 동기오차는 에너지효율과 침로오차에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 외란과 동특성 불일치에 의해 발생되는 동기오차를 억제하기 위한 동기제어시스템이 설계된다. 이 제어시스템은 기준모델, 예비필터와 속도제어기, 동기제어기로 구성된다. 기준모델은 추진시스템마다 상호 분리된 동기오차와 제어입력의 계산에 이용된다. 예비필터와 속도제어기는 추진시스템이 오버슈트와 입력포화 없이 지령을 추종하도록 설계된다. 그리고 동기제어기는 안정적이고 신속한 동기화의 관점에서 근궤적법으로 설계된다. 끝으로, 시뮬레이션을 통해 설계된 제어시스템이 외란에 효과적임을 보여준다.
