This paper presents some experimental results about Position Mooring (PM) system applied to the barge ship. In PM operation, the station keeping in surge, sway of vessel is provided by the mooring system. In this paper, a system, consisting of a barge vessel and mooring lines, is mathematically modeled. The position and orientation of vessel is controlled by changing the tensions in the mooring lines. The PID control strategy is applied to evaluate the efficiency of proposed system. Experimental result which corresponds to the applied control strategy is presented and discussed.

선박을 통한 관광 수요가 증가함에 따라 선박 사고에 대비한 안전한 운항 및 대처가 필요하다. 해상에서는 외부구조 지원을 신속하게 받을 수 없으므로, 자체적으로 피해 최소화를 위한 초기 대응이 매우 중요하다. 따라서, 2차 피해 방지를 위해 신속하고 정확하게 선박 내 승객 위치 파악이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 선박의 특성을 고려하여 저전력, 초소형 등의 장점을 가진 지그비(Zigbee) 무선측위기술(PDT, Position determination technology)을 향상시킨 e-Zigbee(enhanced-Zigbee) 무선 측위 기술을 적용하였고 사용자 니즈(needs)에 맞게 측위 정밀도를 고려한 저가형과 고정밀 승객 위치 태그(tag) 및 액세스포인트(AP, Access point)를 제공하였으며 특성조사를 통해 측위정밀도를 향상시킨 실선 테스트베드를 구축하였다.

This paper describes the nonlinear dynamic motion behavior of a ship equipped with a portable dynamic positioning (DP) control system, under external forces. The waves, current, wind, and drifting forces were considered in the calculations. A self-tuning controller based on a neuro-fuzzy algorithm was used to control the rotation speed of the outboard thrusters for the optimal adjustment of the ship position and heading and for path tracking. Time-domain simulations for ship motion with six degrees of freedom with the DP system were performed using the fourth-order RungeeKutta method. The results showed that the path and heading deviations were within acceptable ranges for the control method used. The portable DP system is a practical alternative for ships lacking professional DP facilities.

Typically, a Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) uses a PID feed-back system, and it often adopts a wind feed-forward system because of its easier implementation than a feed-forward system based on current or wave. But, because a ship's drifting motion is caused by wind, current, and wave drift loads, all three environmental loads should be considered. In this study, a motion predictive control for the PID feedback system of the DPS is proposed, which considers the three environmental loads by utilizing predicted drifted ship positions in the future since it contains information about the three environmental loads from the moment to the future. The prediction accuracy for the future drifted ship position is ensured by adopting deep learning algorithms and a replay buffer. Finally, it is shown that the proposed motion predictive system results in better station-keeping performance than the wind feed-forward system.

Dynamic Positioning (DP) is used to automatically maintain the position and heading of a floating structure subjected to environmental disturbances. A DP control system is composed of a motion controller to compute the desired force and moment and a thrust allocator to distribute the computed force and moment to multiple thrusters considering mechanical and operational constraints. Among various thruster configurations, azimuth thrusters or propeller/rudder pairs tend to make the allocation problem difficult to solve, because these types of propulsion systems include nonlinear constraints. In this paper, a dynamic positioning strategy for a twin-thruster ship that is propelled by two azimuthing thrusters is addressed, and a thrust allocation method which does not require a numerical optimization solver is proposed. The applicability of the proposed method is demonstrated with an experiment using an autonomous boat.

최근 DPO (Dynamic Positioning Operator) 자격증을 취득하고자 하는 해기사가 급증하고 있다. 그러나 우리나라에는 취득과정에 필수적인 승선실습을 제공할 수 있는 선박이 거의 없기 때문에 취득까지 많은 시간과 노력을 필요로 하게 되며, 때로는 중도에 포기하는 경우도 발생하고 있다. 이러한 어려움을 완화하고 보다 더 많은 해기사가 DP 선박에 진출할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 DPS (Dynamic Positioning System)를 설치한 실습선이 적극 검토되고 있다. 이러한 요구에 발맞추어 이 논문에서는 실습선에 탑재할 DPS의 요건에 대하여 제안한다.

DPCap analysis can assist in determining the maximum environmental forces the DP system can counteract for a given heading. DPCap analysis results are highly affected by the thrust forces provided by the thrust system which consists of several kinds of thrusters. The thrust forces and moment are determined by the maximum thrust of the thrusters as well as the thruster configuration. In this paper, a novel local optimization of thruster configuration based on a synthesized positioning capability criterion is proposed. The combination of the discrete locations of the thrusters forms the thruster configuration and is the input, and the synthesized positioning capability is the output. The quantified synthesized positioning capability of the corresponding thruster configuration can be generated as the output. The optimal thruster configuration is the one which makes the vessel has the best positioning capability. A software program was developed based on the present study. A local optimization of thruster configuration for a supply vessel was performed to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the program. Even though the program cannot find the global optimal thruster configuration, its high efficiency makes it essentially practical in an engineering point. It may be used as a marine research tool and give guidance to the designer of the thrust system.

자율운항선박의 개발 및 운용에 대한 논의가 최근 조선해운업계에서 활발하게 이루어 지구 있다. IMO 해사안전위원회 98차회의에서는 자율운항선박을 '다양한 자동화 수준에서 인간의 간섭 없이 독립적으로 운용될 수 있는 선박'으로 정의하였으며, 자율운항 규정 검토작업을 수행하기 위한 임시 정의에 덧붙여서 이러한 자율화등급을 4개로 구분하였다. 하지만 현재 자율화 등급과 관련하여 단순히 인적 요소의 유무로만 구분하기에는 범위가 너무 넓어 재정립이 필요하다는 요구가 있다. 자율운항선박에서의 자율화 등급은 선박의 설계, 구조, 운항등과 밀접하게 관련되는 매우 중요한 요소이기에 본 논문에서는 선박의 등급 화를 나누는 기준 중 동적위치제어시스템을 탑재한 선박들의 등급 기준을 검토하여, 인적 요소 외 다른 요소의 기준이 적용될 수 있는지의 여부에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

Ships and their cargos have been managed safely by positioning report system. However, little attention has been paid to safety of crew's works with danger. The attempt that used PHS inboard was before by the present authors. However, the functions were just voice call and mail exchange. The data acquisition from the terminal by proper control was not possible. Thus the position of the terminal was not available. As for the cell phone of next generation, GPS receiver and wireless LAN are installed by manufacturers. Therefore, we propose a system which uses a cell-phone with GPS receiver on a ship in order to promote the safety of ship's crew. We checked the availability of cell-phone GPS receiver at thirty different points inboard. The positioning was not possible in the areas further than 4m from the window. Then, we proposed the system which follows the positions of the crews and confirms their safety inboard by using the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) function by wireless LAN.

This study aims to investigate the crabbing motion of the research vessel "NARA" by full-scale maneuvering trials. The crabbing test method refers to ITTC recommended procedures and guidelines. In order to minimize the fluctuation of the heading angle due to the external force acting on the hull during the pure lateral motion, the tests are conducted using the dynamic positioning system applied to the ship. The test results are analyzed by applying a low-pass filter to remove the noise included in the measurement data. Three conditions are set to define the steady state of crabbing motion. The index to be derived from the crabbing test is quantitatively presented. The ship is confirmed to be capable of the lateral motion of up to 0.844m/s in Beaufort 3.
