Energy-saving control of long-range autonomous underwater vehicle vertical plane based on human simulating intelligent control method

Abstract

The long-range autonomous underwater vehicle is a new underwater vehicle with capability of stereoscopic observation of the ocean over a wide range of time series. This article proposed a novel control strategy for the long-range autonomous underwater vehicle considering the energy consumption. The vertical motion model of long-range autonomous underwater vehicle and the mathematical model of energy consumption of motion actuators are established in this article, and the maneuverability simulation experiments were carried out to analyze its motion and energy consumption characteristics. A hybrid controller based on human simulating intelligent control and S-plane control is designed. Considering the moment caused by the asymmetry of the hull in motion, an adaptive dynamic control allocation strategy is designed. Simulation experiments are conducted to demonstrate the performance of the scheme proposed.
