Abstract

Random wave resistance to the ship motion has been taken into account. In such circumstances any optimization of ship propulsion control system requires a knowledge of wave resistance stochastic characteristics. A method of such an optimization of architecture and parameters of the ship propulsion controller has been discussed. 1 Introduction A wave resistance to the ship motion depends on the ship speed and on the sea state. Among others it is a function of the wave amplitude second power. In the same time the wave amplitude is of random nature. A ship propulsion task is to overcome the resistance of the sea In particular the task of a ship propulsion control is to satisfy s
