Parameter Identification, Verification and Simulation of the CSD Transport Process

A model of pump and pipeline was established for the transport process of the cutter suction dredger (CSD); An extended Kalman (EKF) filter parameter estimator was designed on the basis of the nonlinear process model, and the calculation and analysis of the actual ship data were designed, the accuracy and validity of the model are verified. The parameters obtained are used for the calculation of yield, and compared with the measured data, the method can be applied to enhance the operation efficiency of dredging.
