This study develops a control algorithm on berthing/unberthing system using a joystick for ships with thrusters and a rudder. A nonlinear mathematical model for low speed maneuvering of typical container ships is used to develop a MIMO(multi-input multi-output) nonlinear control algorithm for velocity feedback joystick control. Also a virtual HILS(hardware in the loop simulation) software program for berthing/unberthing is developed to test the performance of the nonlinear and a PID control algorithm. The program is developed using LabWindow/CVI, and a user can see current position and desired trajectory of ship in a monitor, then he can control forward and yaw velocities of a ship using a joystick. The simulation results show that the nonlinear mfd the PID controller have superior performance over a simple open loop joystick control algorithm.

Harmonics (or distortion in wave form) has always existed in electrical power systems. It is harmless as long as its level is not substantial. However, with the recent rapid advancement of power electronics technology, so-called nonlinear loads, such as variable frequency drives for motor power/speed control, are increasingly finding their way to shipboard or offshore applications. In this paper a new approach to direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor drive is presented. In comparison with the conventional DTC methods the inverter switching frequency is constant and is dramatically increased, requiring neither any increase of the sampling frequency, nor any high frequency dither signal. The well-developed space vector modulation technique is applied to inverter control in the proposed DTC-based induction motor drive system, thereby dramatically reducing the current harmonics. As compared to the existing DTC approach with constant inverter switching frequency, the presented new approach does not invoke any concept of deadbeat control, thereby dramatically reducing the computations.

In this paper, the effect of mass injection on the control of tip vortex cavitation was studied experimentally. A mass injection system for a 3D hydrofoil was designed to control the location of injection as well as the injection rate. A series of cavitation tests were carried out in a cavitation tunnel for different injection locations and rates. The cavitation behaviour was observed using a high-speed camera and the corresponding noise was measured using a hydrophone installed in the observation window. The results showed that the tip vortex cavitation was suppressed under certain conditions and the noise was reduced in some frequency bands. It was also found that there is a location where the effect of mass injection could be maximized and hence the noise reduction.

본 연구는 슬라이딩 모드개념을 이용한 비선형 견실 상태 추정기의 선박 위치제어시스템에 대한 적용에 관한 연구이다. 개발된 상태추정기는 제어기 설계에 필요한 동적 모델에 있어서 고려되지 않은 비선형성과 불확실성 및 외란이 존재하더라도 견실히 상태추정을 수행할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 선박의 속도 및 유체력으로 인한 외란의 추정이 가능하며, 파랑으로 인한 고주파 운동응답을 여과시킴으로 불필요한 작동기의 동작과 과도한 연료손실을 방지할 수 있다. 특히 상태 추정기에 불연속 함수를 도입함으로 비선형성, 외란 및 불확실성에 대해 강인한 특성을 가지고 있다. 제안된 상태추정기에 기초하여 Observer backstepping 방법을 이용한 위치 제어기가 설계되었으며, 제어시스템의 안정성을 Lyapunov 법을 이용하여 검증하였다. 일련의 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행함으로서 제안된 상태추정기 및 제어기의 선박위치제어시스템으로서의 성능을 예증하였다.

International network standards for SOLAS ship are composed of instrument network that controls and monitors machine in real time, shipboard control network that controls and monitors system through computer by human and telecommunication network that connects ship and shore. This paper describes development of stack for instrument network protocol complied with NMEA 2000 that is IEC 61162-3 international standards for SOLAS ship and also that of engine room monitoring system using the developed stack. Developed engine room monitoring system is certified by NMEA according to standards that require to pass about 1,600 test procedures.

The studies on automatic ship collision avoidance system, which have been carried out last 10 years, are facing on new situation due to newly developed high technology such as computer and other information system. It was almost impossible to make it used in real navigation 3-4 years ago because of the absence of the tool to get other ship's information, however recently developed technology suggests new possibility. This study is carried out to develop the algorithm of automatic ship collision support system. The NOMOTO ship's mathematic model is adopted in simulation for its simplicity. The fuzzy reason rules are used for course-keeping system and for the calculation of Collision Risk using TCPA/DCPA. Moreover‘encounter type’ between two ships is analyzed based on Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea and collision avoidance action is suggested, Some situations are simulated to verity the developed algorithm and appropriate avoidance action is shown in the simulation.

As interest in environmental pollution caused by ship emissions is increasing worldwide, many studies are being conducted on the development of systems that increase energy efficiency to reduce ship emissions. In order to test the energy management system controller driven in real time on a large ship, it is necessary to perform the test through the simulator. In this study, addresses were set for each signal according to Modbus TCP/IP so that each control system and energy management system could be linked, and the algorithm was configured according to the signal flow. In addition, the signal generator was designed and manufactured so that each controller could artificially generate the signal collected from the vessel. As a result of the simulator production and interlocking, it was confirmed that each controller operated in real time performed its role appropriately, and that the algorithm of the ship energy management system was properly applied.

Technology development related to maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS) is actively progressing around the world. However, since there are still many technically unresolved problems such as communication, cybersecurity, and emergency response capabilities, it is expected that it will take a lot of time for MASS to be commercialized. In this study, we proposed a ship group navigation system in which one leader ship and several follower ship are grouped into one group. In this system, when the leader ship begins to navigate, the follower ship autonomously follows the path of the leader ship. For path following, PD (proportional-derivative) control is applied. In addition, each ship navigates in a straight line shape while maintaining a safe distance to prevent collisions. Speed control was implemented to maintain a safe distance between ships. Simulations were performed to verify the ship group navigation system. The ship used in the simulation is the L-7 model of KVLCC2, which has related data disclosed. And the MMG (Maneuvering Modeling Group) standard method proposed by the Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineering (JASNAOE) was used as a model of ship maneuvering motion. As a result of the simulation, the leader ship navigated along a predetermined route, and the follower ship navigated along the leader ship's path. During the simulation, it was found that the three ships maintained a straight line shape and a safe distance between them. The ship group navigation system is expected to be used as a navigation system to solve the problems of MASS.
