Controlling the Operation of a Ship’s Electric Power Supply Using Fuzzy Controllers

Abstract The paper presents dynamical models of controlling voltage and frequency of ship’s electric supply set. The simulation model of synchronous generator, implemented in Matlab/Simulink, was described. For the developed simulation model, developed control systems using fuzzy controllers type P and PD were presented. Simulation research for resistance, inductive and capacitive loads were carried out for these regulators. Sample results of simulation tests are presented in the form of voltage waveforms at the output of the generator and rotational speed of the internal combustion engine for various load conditions. The conducted tests allow to assess the quality of the control process using fuzzy controllers and thus ensure the selection of the optimal solution.
