  • Abstract
    This paper presents new results on interaction of DC cables and ship steering autopilots. Simulations with a nonlinear model show that a ship using steering autopilot with magnetic compass can be captured by a DC cable, i.e. the ship tracks the cable. A full scale experimental study has been performed at the Kontiskan HVDC link to verify calculations and simulation results. Good agreement was obtained between measurements and computer simulations. The paper presents the simulation study, the dynamic model used and the test results
