Abstract

The rolling motion of any type of mechanical system can be realized by the linear differential equation with some constant coefficient. In the domain of marine industries, it is observed that the stabilization of the ship’s roll motion is required due to the occurrence of the most unwanted water wave disturbances at the sea. It may cause serious types of damage to the equipment related to the ship. Active fin stabilizer is the most widely used stabilizer among all types of stabilizers like anti-roll tanks, gyroscopes, etc. This research article proposed a special type of auto-tuned PID controller that improves the stability of the fins of the stabilizer as well as roll frequency. Here three different conditions of ship roll motion are taken for the experimental purpose and PID controllers are designed according to them. Due to the nonlinearity, the fin angle is generally been considered by the previous researcher but in this work, some special types of nonlinearities are taken into consideration in the form of fin angle during the design of the controllers.
