Estimating States for Nonlinear Systems Using the Particle Filter (1911.03263v1)

Published 8 Nov 2019 in eess.SY and cs.SY

Abstract: Kalman filtering has been traditionally applied in three application areas of estimation, state estimation, parameter estimation (a.k.a. model updating), and dual estimation. However, Kalman filter is often not sufficient when experimenting with highly uncertain nonlinear dynamic systems. In this study, a nonlinear estimator is developed by adopting a particle filter algorithm that takes advantage of measured signals. This approach is shown to significantly improve the ability to estimate states. To illustrate this approach, a model for a nonlinear device coupled with a hydraulic actuator plays the role of an actual plant and a nonlinear algebraic function is considered as an approximation of the nonlinear device, thus generating non-parametric and parametric uncertainties. Then we use displacement and force signals to improve the distribution of the states by resampling the set of particles. Finally, all of the states are estimated from these posterior density functions. A set of simulations considering three different noise levels demonstrates that the performance of the particle filter approach is superior to the Kalman filter, yielding substantially better performance when estimating nonlinear physical systems in the presence of modeling uncertainties.
