STABLE has implemented new regulation algorithms that allow stabilization accuracy to reach up to 99%, paving the way for applications demanding super accuracy as well as increasing the robustness of the company’s high frequency use-cases.
The illustration below shows data captured from an actual platform stabilization, boat movements (blue) of +/- 11 degrees roll and 6 sec roll period, and the remaining movements of the STABLE platform +/- 0,15 degrees roll (orange).
Being able to meet requirements from applications that demand extreme accuracy, opens up for new use-cases within the Radar-, Lidar-, VSAT- and Sensor segment, as well as improving our “classical” applications for Billiards and Drones/UAVs.
Improving quality of data and increasing the weather window is leading to enhanced profits, reduced expenses, and improved operating efficiencies for the end user. This technical milestone is a result of dedicated development by STABLE R&D Manager Petter Gøytil, keeping the company at the forefront of the majority of challenging stabilization use-cases on land and at sea.
STABLE has been challenged by several clients pursuing use-cases with short roll periods (e.g., up to 0,5-1Hz). Within such frequency areas, the regulation process is seriously impacted by delays, noise, or environmental disturbances.
By combining sensors, optimizing filters, and creating new algorithms, STABLE has now stepped up from 90% roll/pitch suppression up to 99% for specific use-cases.
STABLE uses technology originally developed for use in active heave-compensated cranes for the offshore industry, neutralizing a vessel’s roll and pitch motions, which are calculated by means of sensor signals, resulting in the platform being automatically adjusted by computer-controlled actuators.
