  • Descrição: The Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems currently available employ a feedback controller based on the position and heading error, associated with a wind feed-forward control action to keep the vessel position. This last technology improves the eficiency of the DP by anticipating wind loads. However, there is no consolidated technology to feed the controller with wave loads information and the major issue is related to the wave measurement process. The present thesis aims at filling this technological gap by proposing an alternative approach for the measuring of waves near the vessel. Image-based measurement methods are noninvasive and can produce a spatial and temporal description of the surface, making them suitable for recovering the geometry of liquid surfaces. Nevertheless, these surface reconstruction methods, particularly those applying stereoscopic approaches, have dificulty in measuring waves produced in laboratory facilities, mainly because, in such conditions, the water surface is smooth, translucent and highly specular. Alternatively, intensity based image methods are capable of dealing with these surface characteristics, if employed under controlled conditions and if a suitable reflectance model is selected. In the present study, a well-known reflectance model is applied to recover the parameters of regular waves produced in an offshore basin. Firstly, an experimental setup is proposed, designed to grant appropriate conditions for the application of the reflectance model, even under conventional laboratory illumination. Later, the second set of experiments with a model scale DP vessel are presented, which applied the image-based method developed before as a wave feed-forward system. Three control methods are evaluated, namely: PID, PD (Proportional-Derivative) and the PD with the wave feed-forward. Results demonstrated that the presence of the wave feed-forward reduced the steady error of the PD controller. These are the first steps towards the practical use of the wave feed-forward, and several aspects remain pending. However, the promising results and discussions regarding the future steps define the contribution of this work.
