A Comparative and Experimental Study on Gradient and Genetic Optimization Algorithms for Parameter Identification of Linear MIMO Models of a Drilling Vessel

Abstract

The paper presents algorithms for parameter identification of linear vessel models being in force for the current operating point of a ship. Advantages and disadvantages of gradient and genetic algorithms in identifying the model parameters are discussed. The study is supported by presentation of identification results for a nonlinear model of a drilling vessel.
