Alternative approach for dynamic-positioning thrust allocation using linear pseudo-inverse model

Application of ship Dynamic-Positioning systems strongly depends on physical ability of actuators (Thrusters) in providing commanded loads. This will consequently introduce some constraints and limitations to Thrust Allocation problem in design and control of such systems. However, there is a special case in which a simple explicit solution could be found by fixing orientation of azimuth thruster relative to vessel regarded as linear model. In...
