Since vessel dynamics could vary during maneuvering because of load changes, speed changing, environmental disturbances, aging of mechanism, etc., the performance of model‐based path following control may be degraded if the controller uses the same motion model all the time. This article proposes an adaptive path following control method based on least squares support vector machines (LS‐SVM) to deal...
Future frigates need to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, while improving effectiveness. This paper quantitatively compares top speed, fuel consumption, emissions, acceleration performance and engine loading of hybrid diesel-electric and gas-turbine-electric propulsion, using validated models and introducing sequential turbocharging and power take-off. This simulation study demonstrates hybrid...
Safety and navigation are two important elements in the multi-objective water management of the Lake IJssel area in The Netherlands including Lake IJssel, Lake Marker and North Sea Canal. In order to maintain these important stakes and to make them explicit, transport over water is treated as individual agent that has to negotiate its objectives within the total operational water management. In this...
In this paper, a methodology for the optimal management of a combined irrigation and water supply system based on model predictive control (MPC) is proposed. A control-oriented modelling methodology for this type of systems is presented as well. MPC is used to generate flow control strategies from the sources to the consumer and irrigation areas to meet future demands with appropriate flows, optimizing...
