Optimal design and applied research of a trailing suction hopper dredger loading system

Abstract

In view of the nonlinear characteristics of dynamic model of dredging process, this paper adopts intelligent control algorithm such as pattern search and genetic algorithm to solve optimal control parameters, and obtains the optimal control strategy of dredging efficiency. Based on the combined application of database technology, LabVIEW, network communication and modern control technology, the optimization system of suction hopper dredger loading hopper is constructed. The system can be displayed to operators by man-machine interface, which provides a powerful technical support for the intelligent dredging of trailing suction dredger.
