Analysis and Design on Course Control for Sail-Assisted Ship

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aiming at the problem that sail-assisted ship is easy to yaw because of sail’s lateral force and adjusts its course slowly due to wind, wave and other interferences on the sea, this paper put forward a feedforward feedback control method based on fuzzy system. According to the relationship between lateral force and yaw angle, a feedforward controller was designed to offset the yaw of ship. In order to correct the drift angle of ship automatically, the feedback controller was fulfilled to track the given course. Feedback control loop adopted fuzzy self-adjusting PD controller to make the drift angle be adjusted in time. The simulations indicate that the feedforward feedback control can suppress the disturbance produced by lateral force effectively, enhance the stability of the system and accelerate the response speed.
