An optimal thrust allocation algorithm with bivariate thrust efficiency function considering hydrodynamic interactions

Journal of Marine Science and Technology, 2021
Thrust allocation is of great importance for the application of Dynamic Positioning System (DPS). For dynamically positioned vessels, the thrust allocation is formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem, where the demanded forces and moments are distributed among the available thrusters. Both hydrodynamic interaction effects and physical limitations

Antispin Thrust Allocation for Marine Vessels

IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2009
In extreme weather conditions, thrusters on ships and rigs may be subject to severe thrust losses caused by ventilation and in-and-out-of-water events. When a thruster ventilates, air is sucked down from the surface and into the propeller. In more severe cases, parts of or even the whole propeller can be out of the water. These losses vary rapidly with

SESQP-based semi-submersible platform thrust allocation

Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Electronics and Optoelectronics, 2011
This paper addresses thrust allocation optimization applied to semi-submersible platform for energy conservation. Here we suggest a sequential quadratic programming method based on simplex evolution technique (SESQP), where we consider thruster rate, forbidden sectors into simplex solution space and take account operational constraints into objective ...

AUV Thrust Allocation with Variable Constraints

2017
Modern multipurpose Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) represent the next generation of robotic systems with new technological tasks faced by researchers. One method of extending the functionality of the vehicle is installing tunnel thrusters in addition to the stern propulsion system.

THRUST ALLOCATION WITH LINEAR CONSTRAINED QUADRATIC COST FUNCTION

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2007
In this paper, a method of thrust allocation based on a linearly constrained quadratic cost function capable of handling rotating azimuths is presented. The problem formulation accounts for magnitude and rate constraints on both thruster forces and azimuth angles.
