摘要： A Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system guides navigation of a vessel enabled to extract energy from wind and/or water currents primarily in offshore marine environments. An exemplary SCADA system could embody server and client software applications running on microprocessor systems at a remote control central service logging and energy distribution facility, and the vessel itself. The remote control service facility runs Human Machine Interface (HMI) software in the form of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) allowing choices to maximize system performance. The central server accesses information to control vessel position based on transmitted Global Position Satellite (GPS) data from the vessel, and weather information from the Geographic Information System (GIS) provided by multiple spatial temporal data sources. A server-side optimization algorithm fed the parameters delivered from vessel aerodynamic/hydrodynamic performance simulation software models, the vessel onboard sensor data, and integrated real-time weather and environmental data determines an optimal navigation through weather systems and presents choices to the HMI.

摘要： The speed of a vehicle, and particularly a ship, is controlled to minimize the sum of fixed and variable operating costs. The variable costs are incurred substantially only due to fuel usage. The rotational speed and torque parameters of the ship propeller shaft are measured and utilized to derive an expression for shaft horsepower in terms of these parameters. The variable cost function is derived from the horsepower function, fuel factor, unit volume fuel cost and voyage distance for various ship speeds. The fixed cost function is determined on the basis of voyage time for the various speeds, loading time and total annual costs for maintaining the ship per unit of time. The ship throttle is controlled to operate at the speed at which the total fixed and variable costs is minimized. Throttle control may be automatic, by means of an ERROR signal which is nulled when the ship achieves the speed corresponding to the minimum total costs, or manual, by means of an operator selecting from a CRT-displayed table the ship speed which minimizes the total costs. For revenue-producing ships, voyage profit is computed for different speeds by subtracting the total costs at those speeds from gross revenue.
