Abstract:
As most Hull Mechanical & Electrical (HM&E) Systems are still based on “human in loop” tradition mode in controlling and decision-making, which requires much man power and severely affects system efficiency, an autonomous control plant for HM&E system is proposed. By using Multi-Agent hierarchical control structure associating with HM&E systems and adopting the resource distributing strategy model to actualize system resources distribution and task scheduling, the ship platform is empowered with adaptive reconstruction and autonomous execution ability in an unmanned condition, which changes the operation mode from traditional human based running to autonomous running. The simulation results show that this plant is not only applicable to autonomously decision execution and resource optimization in various tasks and environment, but is also effective in improving the automation level and the overall vitality of the ship platform.
