Abstract. Hydraulic state estimation in water distribution networks is the task of estimating water flows and pressures in the pipes and nodes of the network based on some sensor measurements. This requires a model of the network, as well as knowledge of demand outflow and tank water levels. Due to modeling and measurement uncertainty, standard state-estimation may result in inaccurate hydraulic estimates without any measure of the estimation error. This paper describes a methodology for generating hydraulic state bounding estimates based on interval bounds on the parametric and measurement uncertainties. The estimation error bounds provided by this method can be applied to estimate the unaccounted-for water in water distribution networks. As a case study, the method is applied to a transport network in Cyprus, using actual data in real-time.

AbstractTwo fundamentally different approaches of determining normality of the probability density function of the state estimation error are compared by application to a range of test cases. The first method is the Henze-Zirkler test, which operates on a random particle sample. The variability of its result is quantified. Using this method, departure from normality has been found to occur in three stages which are detailed. The second test compares the offset in whitened space of the predicted state to the predicted covariance mean obtained from the unscented transform. This test is much more efficient than the random particle based approach and can be applied using any perturbations model. The comparison is performed on the state estimation error in Cartesian space and using two-body motion without process noise. The more efficient, unscented transform based approach shows excellent agreement with the Henze-Zirkler test for constructed test cases. Application to orbit determination results from passive optical observations assessed with a Batch-Least-Squares orbit determination however reveals some discrepancies which have yet to be understood and underline the importance of rigorous testing.

Real-time state estimation of a linear dynamic system using an observer, in the presence of modeling errors in the system model used by the observer and uncertainty in the initial system states, is considered here. A guideline for designing observers for multioutput systems is established, based on an expression for an upper bound on the norm of the state estimation error derived in this paper. An example is presented to illustrate the usefulness of this guideline.
