INTEGRATED SHIPBOARD MAIN PROPULSION CONTROL SYSTEM

Abstract

Research is presented on a ship's control system consisting of an integrated main propulsion con control system with automatic propeller speed response to bridge. This development was under taken with the aid of an analog computer. This presentation is concerned with the simulation of a DLG-6 type power plant, and the development of its automatic shaft speed control system. The results of simulation studies indicated that the integrated system proposal is technically feasible, and that the system required to produce optimum response and stability is necessarily non-linear and complex. Development of the system was based on the properties of the 'turbine follower' machinery arrangement. Chart records comparing this plant with a similar plant, conventionally controlled, are presented as enclosures.
