A simpler approach to analysis ship maneuvering performances of hybrid propulsion ship using a HILS

A simulation verification of the hybrid propulsion ship considering accurate electro-dynamic model is required to evaluate ship maneuverability before the maritime demonstration. This paper presents the simplified model constructions for the hybrid propulsion ship using a real time simulator in terms of the dynamic models accuracy and the improvement of a computation speed. In addition, the hardware in the loop simulator based on a laboratory virtual instrument engineering workbench using the ship dynamic model and the developed equipment is proposed to evaluate the electro dynamic characteristics of hybrid propulsion ship. The validity of a proposed model on a hardware in the loop simulator is verified by simulation compared with a detailed model on an electronic circuit simulation software.
