Thrust allocation logic of dynamically positioned offshore vessel

In dynamic positioning (DP) systems, 'thrust allocation' is the problem of determining the thrust and direction of each of the 'n' thrusters in an over-actuated offshore vessel from the desired forces and moment derived in the control law. This is formulated as a non-linear optim...
