“…The stability properties of the propulsion system are proven through Lyapunov analysis. First, it is shown that H-infinity tracking performance criterion is satisfied, which signifies elevated robustness against model uncertainty and external disturbances [18]. Next, conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the control scheme are provided.…”

Abstract.A nonlinear optimal (H-infinity) control method is proposed for an electric ship's propulsion system that consists of an induction motor, a drivetrain and a propeller. The control method relies on approximate linearization of the propulsion system's dynamic model using Taylor-series expansion and on the computation of the state-space description's Jacobian matrices. The linearization takes place around a temporary equilibrium which is recomputed at each time-step of the control method. For the approximately linearized model of the ship's propulsion system, an H-infinity (optimal) feedback controller is developed. For the computation of the controller's gains an algebraic Riccati equation is solved at each iteration of the control algorithm.The stability properties of the control method are proven through Lyapunov analysis,

Abstract-In this paper, an adaptive nonlinear tracking controller for an underactuated nonminimum phase model of a marine vehicle is derived. The result is kept flexible enough, throughout its derivation, to be applicable to a large variety of marine vehicles. The characteristics of the dynamic model are such that solving the tracking problem is non-trivial. Specifically, we consider a propulsion system composed of either a thruster and a rudder, or a vectored thruster, which provides two independent control commands and three degrees of freedom, with an overall unstable zero-dynamics. The tracking problem dealt with in this paper is solved using a backstepping approach, as well as a technique derived from dynamic surface control theory and the notion of ultimate boundedness. The tracking problem is first solved assuming full knowledge of the geometric and hydrodynamic coefficients appearing in the vehicle's model. The control law is then modified into an adaptive one. Computer simulations are presented to illustrate the performances of the final control algorithm.

Summary.A neural network model reference adaptive controller for trajectory tracking of nonlinear systems is developed. The proposed control algorithm uses a single layer neural network that bypasses the need for information about the system's dynamic structure and characteristics and provides portability. Numerical simulations are performed using nonlinear dynamic models of marine vehicles. Results are presented for two separate vehicle models, an autonomous surface vehicle and an autonomous underwater vehicle, to demonstrate the controller performance in terms of tuning, robustness, and tracking.
