Abstract
This research paper investigates the control of an autonomous surface vessel yaw angle using two compensators and two controllers from the second generation of compensators and controllers presented by the author since 2014. The proposed compensators and controllers are tuned for the best possible performance of the control system incorporating them and the time-based characteristics of the control system are outlined. The step time response of the control system using the proposed compensatorscontrollers is compared with that of a PID controller tuned by the author. A graphical and quantitative comparison of the step time response and the time-based characteristics is performed to assess the selection of the best compensatorcontroller suitable for the control of surface vessel yaw angle. The yaw rate of the vessel is also presented following the use of the proposed compensatorscontrollers with proposed maximum limit for its value for future work.
