Abstract:Proper parameters of the control model can ensure that the controlled object can reach the control target with fast response time and small overshoot. The optimal design of UUV depth control model parameters is of great significance to improve UUV motion performance. Firstly, the UUV space kinematics equation is established, and the UUV virtual prototype and its depth setting control model are constructed based on Modelica. Then, taking response time and minimum overshoot as optimization objectives, the multi-objective optimization process of UUV depth control model parameters is established by using non-dominated sorting differential evolution algorithm, and the optimization design workflow of UUV depth control model parameters is constructed based on OPTIMUS platform. The experimental results of a 324-caliber thermal power UUV show that the proposed method can quickly obtain the optimal PID control model parameters, and the optimized control characteristics of the UUV's fixed depth motion are significantly improved.
