This paper introduces a novel controller into the tank level control of liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier. The proposed controller can simplify the design process and save energy output of the controller under the premise of achieving a good control effect of the liquid level of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier tank. Moreover, Gaussian function is adopted to decorate nonlinearly the output of the linear controller designed by using the second-order closed loop gain-shaping algorithm, and then the final controller is obtained. The effectiveness of the controller is verified by simulation experiments on the LNG carrier ‘‘Da-Peng Sun’’ No.2 liquid tank. The simulation results show that the comprehensive control performance index J of the second-order closed loop gain-shaping controller decorated by Gaussian function reduces by 11.8% and 95.3%, respectively, compared with the controller without nonlinear decoration and the linear proportional–integral–differential (PID) controller, meeting the requirement of energy saving and realizing a good control result of the tank level of the LNG carrier.
