Objectives:
1. Selection of suitable mathematical models of ships through comprehensive literature
review.
2. Study of main methods of PID controllers design.
3. Selection of four most suitable methods of PID controller design.
4. Design of ship autopilots using the selected PID controllers.
5. Testing and comparison of the design methods under various operating and
environmental conditions.
Methodology:
The mathematical equations of ship motion will be simulated by using MATLAB / Simulink.
Also PID controllers will be designed in MATLAB environments. The models of waves and
ocean currents etc will also be simulated and a closed loop control system will be developed.
