The main goal of the research is to design an efficient controller for a dynamic positioning system for autonomous surface ships using the backstepping technique for the case of full-state feedback in the presence of unknown external disturbances. The obtained control commands are distributed to each actuator of the overactuated vessel via unconstrained control allocation. The numerical hydrodynamic model of CyberShip I and the model of environmental disturbances are applied to simulate the operation of the ship control system using the time domain analysis. Simulation studies are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller and its robustness to external disturbances.

Semi-submersible plays an important role in ocean oil and gas exploitation. This paper carried out some researches for the dynamic positioning system (DPS) of a deep water semi- submersible. Mathematic modal was made, and a special program was created with M-language for the time-domain dynamic analysis of the dynamic positioning system of the deep water semi-submersible, on basis of the mathematic modal. PID control strategy, kalman filtering theory and optimal thrust allocation method were used in the analysis. Simulation result indicated the DPS of this platform is safe and efficient.

An existing approach to optimizing thrust allocation in surface vessels is considered for general use with dynamic positioning systems. A solution to the power limiting problem is presented, and the handling of azimuthing thrusters is significantly improved. Various other considerations related to thrust allocation are treated. A generalized algorithm is developed.
