Development of submersible ballast water computer aided control system for semi-submersible ships
Semi-submersible vessels are widely used in the fields of large ocean structure transportation and ship main-tenance.In this paper,a kind of submersible ballast water computer-aided control system is proposed,the basic requirements of the system are analyzed,and the detailed system structure is designed,including database module,ballast water calcula-tion module,simulation module,control module,display module and communication module.The mathematical model of pressure drainage of air compressor is studied,the working flow of computer aided control system is described,and the bal-last water control strategy based on MLP is proposed.The computer aided ballast control system designed in this paper has complete functions and is expected to be applied to the negative ballast control system of various semi-submersible vessels.
