This paper presents the stabilization and design of a pan-tilt control part for the directional pan-tilt system for shipboard directional equipment. In order to control each control axis with compensation for ship motion, the 2 degree of freedom(2DOF) PID controller is designed and its parameters are tuned using a real-coded genetic algorithm(RCGA). Simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the 2 DOF PID controller tuning.

In this paper, we present the model-based fuzzy controller for container cranes which effectively performs set-point tracking control of trolley and anti-swaying control under system parameter and disturbance changes. The first part of this paper focuses on the development of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy modeling in a nonlinear container crane system. Parameters of the membership functions are adjusted by a RCGA to have same dynamic characteristics with nonlinear model of a container crane. In the second part, we present a design methodology of the model-based fuzzy controller. Sub-controllers are designed using LQ control theory for each subsystem in fuzzy model and then the proposed controller is performed with the combination of these sub-controllers by fuzzy IF-THEN rules. In the results of simulation, the fuzzy model showed almost similar dynamic characteristics compared to the outputs of the nonlinear container crane model. Also, the model-based fuzzy controller showed not only the fast settling time for the change in parameter and disturbance, but also stable and robust control performances without any steady-state error.

The T-S fuzzy model of a ship is made from the nonlinear extension of Nomoto's 2nd-order model as the previous step before designing of the fuzzy type autopilot to consider the design specifications and the economic efficiency. The T-S fuzzy model is considered as a design variable of the heading angular velocity of ship. The linear models will be combined as "IF-THEN" fuzzy rules after get in this one area of the linear model(sub-system) by change of the heading angular velocity of a ship. The dynamic characteristic of a ship with the parameters of linear models and fuzzy membership functions are estimated to match by using the model adjustment technic with input/output data and a RCGA.

This study derives an event-based tank model with a conceptual rainfall-infiltration process, modifying conventional tank models. The model comprises two serial tanks, one parallel tank and an infiltration regulating element. The infiltration process within the element is not represented as a function of only time, but as a function of soil moisture content for three possible cases owing to the relationship between rainfall intensity and infiltration capacity. This study considers the previous soil moisture condition of a watershed by using antecedent precipitation index. Six parameters of the model are identified by using the real coded genetic algorithm. The applicability and validity of the proposed model are assessed for the observed stormwater data from the research basin of the International Hydrological Program, the Pyeongchanggang River basin, Republic of Korea. The results computed streamflows show relatively good agreement with observed ones.

This paper presents the tracking and stabilization problem of a night vision system for marine surveillance. Both a hardware system and software modules are developed to control azimuth and elevation axes independently with compensation for ship motion. A two degree of freedom(2DOF) PID controller is designed and its parameters are tuned using a real-coded genetic algorithm(RCGA). Simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In general, most physical systems are complex, highly non-linearity, affected by disturbance, incomplete knowledge, and even interactive change with the operating points. To solve this problem, the research of modem control theory and controller is proceeding. Before appling the proposed controller to the real system, however, it needs an apparatus which can verify the proposed controller for being not damaged the plant. In this paper, therefore, a RCGA-based PI-type state feedback controller using reduced-order observer is implemented and applied to the seesaw system and a series of simulation are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the control system.

A gas turbine engine plays an important role as a prime mover that is used in the marine transportation field as well as the space/aviation and power plant fields. However, it has a complicated structure and there is a time delay element in the combustion process. Therefore, an elaborate mathematical model needs to be developed to control a gas turbine engine. In this study, a modeling technique for a gas generator, a PLA actuator, and a metering valve, which are major components of a gas turbine engine, is explained. In addition, sub-models are obtained at several operating points in a steady state based on the trial running data of a gas turbine engine, and a method for controlling the engine speed is proposed by designing an NPID controller for each sub-model. The proposed NPID controller uses three kinds of gains that are implemented with a nonlinear function. The parameters of the NPID controller are tuned using real-coded genetic algorithms in terms of minimizing the objective function. The validity of the proposed method is examined by applying to a gas turbine engine and by conducting a simulation.

The PID controller type autopilot is applied to support shipmaneuvering for course-keeping and heading control. A control constants of autopilot system should be evaluated by promoting energy loss (fuel consumption) from the view point of economic efficiency of the ship. This paper is obtained control constants of autopilot system from the RCGA pursued the minimum energy loss. In addition, the controller which is designed involves a constrained optimization problem. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated through a set of simulation.

Integrating processes are frequently encountered in process industries. Generally they are most commonly associated with level control problems. In this paper, tuning formulae of PID controllers for set-point tracking and load disturbance rejection are presented on integrating processes with time delay. In particular, the controller parameters are determined such that performance criteria(IAE, ISE and ITSE) are minimized. Optimal PID parameter sets are obtained by means of a real-coded genetic algorithm(RCGA) and then tuning rules are addressed using obtained PID parameter sets and another RCGA. The performances of the proposed tuning rules are tested on two processes.

In this paper, we presents a scheme for the parameter estimation and optimal control scheme for apparatus of container crane system. For parameter estimation, first, we construct the open loop of the container crane system and estimate its parameters based on input-output data, a real-coded genetic algorithm(RCGA) and the model adjustment technique. The RCGA plays an important role in parameter estimation as an adaptive mechanism. For controller design, state feedback gain matrix is searched by another RCGA and the estimated model. The performance of the proposed methods are demonstrated through a set of simulation and experiments of the experimental apparatus.
