Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to analyze the dynamics of a multidimensional object based on the Pareto curve for the Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) controller. The study was carried out based on an available <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">“Blue Lady”</span> training vessel model controller with the use of a MATLAB and Simulink simulation package. Research was focused on optimising both the energy to be used when manoeuvring and the ship’s dynamics. Analysis was combined with the application of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>H</mi><mn>2</mn></msub><mo>/</mo><msub><mi>H</mi><mo>∞</mo></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> norms finding the Pareto optimal solution for mixed norms used at the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>γ</mi><mo>∞</mo></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> parameter. Observations for a multidimensional ship model proved that it is possible to optimize the system, using principles of the Pareto curve, to reduce energy consumption in steering-propulsion systems while performing precise manoeuvres in ports correctly. Parameter values, received from observations of operation of individual steering-propulsion systems, proved to be reasonable.
