Abstract
In this paper we have derived a nonlinear passive observer for moored and free-floating ships. By adding low- and high-pass filtered innovation signals in the design, we have additional flexibility in the design. This augmented design is extended to a new observer with adaptive wave filtering. Experiments with a model ship shows that the adaptive observer will significantly improve the performance of the ship positioning system. This results in reduced magnitude of the observer innovation, better filtering properties and reduced control action by the propulsion system.

Nonlinear passive weather optimal positioning control (WOPC) system for ships and rigs: experimental results

TL;DR: A new concept for nonlinear positioning control of marine vessels is presented and documented experimentally that is controlled such that the resulting wind, wave and current force does not produce a yaw moment without measuring the environmental disturbances.

Acceleration Feedback in Dynamic Positioning

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for better compensation of the second type of disturbances, slowly-varying forces, by introducing feedback from measured acceleration, which was shown theoretically and through model experiments that positioning performance can be improved without compromising on thruster usage.

Passive nonlinear observer design for ships using lyapunov methods: full-scale experiments with a supply vessel

TL;DR: In this paper a nonlinear observer is derived and is proven to be passive and GES, and the number of tuning parameters is reduced to a minimum by using passivity theory, which results in a simple and intuitive tuning procedure.
