In compliance with environmental regulations at sea and the introduction of unmanned autonomous ships, electric propulsion ships are garnering significant attention. Induction machines used as propulsion electric motor (PEM) have maintenance advantages, but speed control is very complicated and difficult. One of the most commonly used techniques for speed control is DTC (direct torque control). DTC is simple in the reference frame transformation and the stator flux calculation. Meanwhile, two-level and three-level voltage source inverters (VSI) are predominantly used. The three-level VSI has more flexibility in voltage space vector selection compared to the two-level VSI. In this paper, speed is controlled using the DTC method based on the specifications of the PEM. The speed controller employs a PI controller with anti-windup functionality. In addition, the characteristics of the two-level VSI and three-level VSI are compared under identical conditions. It was confirmed through simulation that proper control of speed and torque has been achieved. In particular, the torque ripple was small and control was possible with a low DC voltage at low speed in the three-level VSI. The study confirmed that the application of DTC, using a three-level VSI, contributes to enhancing the system's response performance.

Gas turbine engines are widely used as prime movers of generator and propulsion system in warships. This study addresses the problem of designing a DS-based PID controller for speed control of the LM-2500 gas turbine engine used for propulsion in warships. To this end, we first derive a dynamic model of the LM-2500 using actual sea trail data. Next, the PRC (process reaction curve) method is used to approximate the first-order plus time delay (FOPTD) model, and the DS-based PID controller design technique is proposed according to approximation of the time delay term. The proposed controller conducts set-point tracking simulation using MATLAB (2016b), and evaluates and compares the performance index with the existing control methods. As a result of simulation at each operating point, the proposed controller showed the smallest in , which means that the rpm does not change rapidly. In addition, IAE and IAC were also the smallest, showing the best result in error performance and controller effort.

This study conducted the experiment for the development of the low pressure type SCR system. The experimental equipment of SCR system was installed, which was widely used as the nitrogen oxides abatement system, and the demonstration experiment was conducted to see that it met the Tier III regulation according to the IMO NOx Technical Code. The SCR system demonstration experiment was divided into three stages: SCR system component operation test, engine parameter test by engine load, and NOx abatement performance and ammonia slip verification test. The final performance of the SCR system was verified through analysis of NOx abatement performance and ammonia slip test results for each load variation.

해양사고의 약 80% 정도가 인적과실(Human elements)에 의해 발생하고 있으며 특히 우리나라 해양사고의 대부분을 차지하는 해양사고는 충돌사고로 94%에 이른다. 국제해사기구(IMO)와 주요 국가들이 인적요인의 중요성을 인식하고 인간과실 예방에 대한 연구 및 분석을 추진하고 있으나 개념정립과 단편적 정보전달에 국한되고 있어 실용성이 부족한 편이다. 한편 본 연구에서는 실제 발생한 우리나라의 해양사고의 원인을 BRM/ERM 요인을 통해 분석하여 2017년부터 STCW 2010 마닐라 협약의 개정으로 강제화되는 리더십 및 팀워크(BRM/ERM 포함) 교육에 강조될 수 있는 부분을 식별하였다

본 논문에서는 시소 시스템에 Pl형의 상태 피드백 제어기와 축소차수 관측기를 결합한 제어시스템을 적용하여 시소 시스템의 안정화 문제를 다루었다. LQ 이론에 근간을 두는 Pl형의 상태 피드백 제어기는 계단상의 외란이나 잡음에 대해 양호한 성능을 가지도록 오차에 대한 새로운 상태변수를 고려한 제어기이다. 축소차수 관측기는 상태변수의 계측이 어려운 경우나 경제적인 이유로 센서의 부착이 어려운 경우에 종종 사용되는데 본 논문에서는 시소 시스템의 각도와 대차의 위치로부터 시소의 각속도와 대차의 속도를 추정하기 위해 사용된다. 여러 초기조건과 외란이 인가되는 환경 하에서 실시한 시뮬레이션을 통해 본 논문에서 목적으로 하는 시소 시스템의 안정화가 가능함을 보인다.
