Abstract
A method of stabilising a marine vessel having a stabiliser system is provided. The method comprises receiving real-time vessel motion data from at least one vessel motion sensor, generating one or more primary control signals based on the vessel motion data by means of a primary non-linear control system and generating one or more secondary control signals based on the vessel motion data by means of a secondary linear control system. The method further comprises selecting either the primary control signals or the secondary control signals and transmitting the selected control signals to the vessel stabiliser system.

A method of stabilising a marine vessel having a stabiliser system, the method comprising:
- receiving real-time vessel motion data from at least one vessel motion sensor,
- generating one or more primary control signals based on the vessel motion data by means of a primary non-linear control system,
- generating one or more secondary control signals based on the vessel motion data by means of a secondary linear control system,
- selecting either the primary control signals or the secondary control signals, and
- transmitting the selected control signals to control stabiliser mechanics of the vessel stabiliser system.
A method of stabilising a marine vessel having a stabiliser system, the method comprising:
- receiving real-time vessel motion data from at least one vessel motion sensor,
- selecting one of a primary non-linear control system and a secondary linear control system,
- generating one or more primary control signals or one or more secondary control signals based on the vessel motion data, dependent on the selected primary or secondary control system, and
- transmitting the generated primary or secondary control signals to control stabiliser mechanics of the vessel stabiliser system.
A controller system for use in a marine vessel stabiliser system said controller system being configured to provide control signals to the marine vessel stabiliser system based on data from at least one associated vessel motion sensor, wherein the controller system comprises a primary non-linear control system and a secondary linear control system and means for allowing the primary control system or the secondary control system to generate control signals to control stabiliser mechanics of the associated vessel stabiliser system.
