“…to estimate the cost function and solves the optimal controller in a forward-in-time manner. In recent years, rapid developments have been made in DP controller design methods based on ADP, such as data-driven adaptive DP optimal control combined with an NN and broad learning system identifiers [27,113], DO-based DP optimal tracking control integrated with the modified backstepping method [114], and thruster saturation DP optimal controller design based on finite-time velocity and disturbance observers [15,28].…”

“…However, current data-driven DP control often requires a large amount of high-quality data to establish accurate system models. This greatly increases the requirements for data sampling rate, data noise, and data incompleteness [27,113]. Moreover, data-driven DP methods typically require long offline learning times, which poses significant challenges for DP systems that require real-time responsiveness.…”

This paper surveys the recent advances in dynamic positioning (DP) control for marine crafts. DP of marine crafts means that a craft can maintain a fixed position and heading, or move along a predetermined trajectory slowly without the anchoring system, using only its own thruster system to counteract ocean disturbances. The survey is by no means exhaustive but provides a survey of some of the major technological advancements in DP controller design over the years of research and development. Firstly, the model of marine crafts and some difficult problems in DP control are introduced including the impact of multiple source disturbance, unavailable velocity measurement information, resource conservation and performance optimization, destabilizing impact of faults and network security and compound multi-constraint restrictions. Then, the DP control schemes in recent years are summarized and classified in detail. Finally, some theoretical and technical problems are proposed, including online data-driven model-free control, man–machine combination intelligent control and composite hierarchical anti-disturbance control to guide future investigations.

The Artificial Potential Field (APF) method is a classical path planning method for unmanned ships, relying on Global Positioning System (GPS) positioning information for path planning. Unfortunately, once the path planning algorithm uses inaccurate or even fake data, it will lead to ship collision, grounding, or deviation from the course, causing severe economic losses and causing significant security risks to other sailing ships. This paper aims to study the impacts of GPS spoofing on the path planning of unmanned ships. We propose a GPS attack and study GPS spoofing of path planning based on the APF method for an unmanned ship by a low-cost software-defined radio, which causes the unmanned ship to deviate from the course. Our simulation tests show that this method has significant impacts on the path planning results of the APF method.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Shipboard microgrids (SBMGs) are becoming increasingly popular in the power industry due to their potential for reducing fossil-fuel usage and increasing power production. However, operating SBMGs poses significant challenges due to operational and environmental constraints. To address these challenges, intelligent control, management, and protection strategies are necessary to ensure safe operation under complex and uncertain conditions. This paper provides a comprehensive review of SBMGs, including their classifications, control, management, and protection, as well as the most recent research statistics in these areas. The state-of-the-art SBMG types, propulsion systems, and power system architectures are discussed, along with a comparison of recent research contributions and issues related to control, uncertainties, management, and protection in SBMGs. In addition, a bibliometric analysis is performed to examine recent trends in SBMG research. This paper concludes with a discussion of research gaps and recommendations for further investigation in the field of SBMGs, highlighting the need for more research on the optimization of SBMGs in terms of efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, as well as the development of advanced control and protection strategies to ensure safe and stable operation.
