We have investigated the usefulness of an active stabilizing system to reduce ship rolling under disturbances, using varying reaction of the flaps. In the proposed anti-rolling system for a ship, the flaps, as the actuator, are installed on the stern, in order to reject the rolling motion induced by disturbances, such as waves. The action induced by the flaps, which is dependent upon the power of the disturbances, can keep the ship in balance. In this study, we define the system parameters under the given system structure, using spectral analysis and experimental studies. Based on this information, we design the controller to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed system.

Roll stabilization systems for ships are employed to increase comfort for passengers, maintain full working capabilities for members of the crew and prevent cargo damage. In this paper, we have investigated the usefulness of active stabilizing system to reduce ship rolling under disturbances, using varied reaction of the flaps. In the proposed anti-rolling system for a ship, the flaps as the actuator are installed on the stern to reject rolling motion induced by disturbances such as wave. The action induced by flaps depends on power of disturbances and can take the ship balance. Especially, in this study we define the system parameters under the given system structure and design the controller to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed system.

This is an investigation for a more electric regional aircraft, considering the ATR 72 aircraft as an example and the electrification of its four double slotted flaps, which were estimated to require an energy of 540 Wh for takeoff and 1780 Wh for landing, with a maximum power requirement of 35.6 kW during landing. An analysis and evaluation of three energy harvesting systems has been carried out, which led to the recommendation of a combination of a piezoelectric and a thermoelectric harvesting system providing 65% and 17%, respectively, of the required energy for the actuators of the four flaps. The remaining energy may be provided by a solar energy harvesting photovoltaic system, which was calculated to have a maximum capacity of 12.8 kWh at maximum solar irradiance. It was estimated that a supercapacitor of 232 kg could provide the energy storage and power required for the four flaps, which proved to be 59% of the required weight of a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery while the supercapacitor also constitutes a safer option.

We have investigated the usefulness cf active stabilizing system to reduce ship rolling under disturbances, using varying reaction cf the flaps. In the proposed anti-rolling system for a ship, the flaps as the actuator are installed on the stem to reject rolling motion induced by disturbances like wave. The action induced by flaps which depends on power of disturbances am take the ship balance. Especially, in this study we identify the controlled system under the undefined system structure using spectral analysis and experimental studies. Based on these informations, we design the controller to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed system.
