    Compensating of Added Mass Terms in Dynamically Positioned Surface Vehicles: a Continuous Robust Control Approach
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Bıdıklı, Barış; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Zergeroğlu, Erkan
    In this work, we provide a tracking controller formulation for dynamically positioned surface vessels with an asymmetric added mass terms that affects the overall system dynamics at the acceleration level. Specifically a novel continuous robust controller is proposed for surface vessels that in addition to unstructured uncertainties in its dynamics, contains added mass effects in its inertia matrix. The proposed controller compensates the overall system uncertainties while ensuring asymptotic tracking by utilizing the knowledge of the leading principal minors of the input gain matrix. Stability of the closed–loop system and asymptotic convergence are proven via Lyapunov based approaches. Simulation studies are also presented to illustrate the viability of the proposed method

    Robust Dynamic Positioning of Surface Vessels Via Multiple Unidirectional Tugboats
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Bıdıklı, Barış; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Zergeroğlu, Erkan
    In this paper, the problem of accurate positioning of an unactuated surface vessel by using multiple uni-directional tugboats is investigated. Specifically a robust controller that ensures asymptotic position tracking is designed. The control design procedure is implemented in two steps: Initially by locating opposing tugboats to specific configurations, the overall problem is transformed into a second order system with an uncertain non-symmetric input gain matrix. Then via a matrix decomposition, a novel robust controller methodology is proposed. The stability of the overall system is ensured via rigorous stability analysis where asymptotic position tracking is ensured. Numerical simulation results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed controller.
