Study on the engine-CPP associated control approach during ship accelerating process

A CODOG system simulation model is built in Matlab/SIMULINK environment, and the model is integrated and improved by using MFC. Then the simulation model is validated by trail data of the ship at sea. Two different “engine-CPP” associated control approaches of accelerating process are proposed, and each approach is simulated and designed. The simulation result shows that adopting the accelerating approach in which the increase rates of engine speed and pitch are changeable, the flexibility of the ship accelerating process will improved remarkably. At last the practicability of this approach is discussed.
