System Analysis and Control

Most control methods for dynamic systems with state space models require knowledge of all state variables. When measurements do not complete control system is complemented by the observer for full state estimation. The most commonly accepted observer form is a Kalman filter but under certain conditions Kalman filter is sensitive to errors and even gives an unstable solution. Therefore there is a need to develop a new alternative ways to design of observers which would be more robust against changes in the model parameters and noise properties.
It is proposed to conduct research and development dealing with new methods for the state evaluation using for this not a local measurements as in Kalman filter but the data set on a sliding interval. The method in this case will be based on variational approach. Previous studies have shown its efficiency and capacity to work. Besides theoretical developments it is planned to demonstrate its capabilities for different applications.
