Popis: The violent ship roll directly affects the safety of sea navigation and the ability to perform tasks, which makes ship anti-rolling become a research focus. Fin stabilizer is the most widely used and effective active anti-rolling device for ships. However, in the available literature, there is no real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform to help researchers and engineers design fin stabilizer control systems. Accurate ship motion control platform is of great importance. It solves problems that are difficult to solve with digital simulation by providing motion attitude monitoring and more realistic simulation environment. In order to solve the problem, this paper develops a real-time visual hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform (RTV-HILSP) for ship roll control system design, which makes it easier to find the defects in the actual system. In this paper, the design scheme and the working principle of the platform are introduced in detail, and the roll mathematical model of a research ship is established. In order to test the performance of the new platform, a series of simulations is carried out. The results show that the RTV-HILSP meets the requirements of industry standards and can be used in the design and verification phase of the controller, which has proved to be a good research platform.
