The wheel force transducer (WFT) is used to measure dynamic wheel loads. Unlike other force sensors, WFT is rotating with the wheel. For this reason, the outputs and the inputs of the transducer are nonlinearly related, and traditional Kalman Filter is not suitable. In this paper, a new real-time filter algorithm utilizing Quadrature Kalman Filter (QKF) is proposed to solve this problem. In Quadrature Kalman Filter, Singer model is introduced to track the wheel force, and the observation function is established for WFT. The simulation results illustrate that the new filter outperforms the traditional Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) and Extended Kalman Filter (EKF).

Strapdown seekers are superior to platform seekers for their simple structure, high reliability and light weight but cannot measure the line-of-sight angle rate information for the guidance of rotation missile directly. This paper aims at the engineering application of full-strapdown seekers on rotation missile problem. Firstly, a line-of-sight angle rate solution model is established. Based on the MATLAB, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm and unscented Kalman filter (UKF) algorithm are used to estimate the line-of-sight angle rate information of the full-strapdown seekers. The results show that using EKF filter and UKF filter both can obtain effective guidance information and the UKF’s effect is better.

Nonlinear filtering is of great significance in industries. In this work, we develop a new linear regression Kalman filter for discrete nonlinear filtering problems. Under the framework of linear regression Kalman filter, the key step is minimizing the Kullback–Leibler divergence between standard normal distribution and its Dirac mixture approximation formed by symmetric samples so that we can obtain a set of samples which can capture the information of reference density. The samples representing the conditional densities evolve in a deterministic way, and therefore we need less samples compared with particle filter, as there is less variance in our method. The numerical results show that the new algorithm is more efficient compared with the widely used extended Kalman filter, unscented Kalman filter and particle filter.

Since the permeant magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) has many applications in particular safety-critical applications, enhancing PMSG availability has become essential. An effective tool for enhancing PMSG availability and reliability is continuous monitoring and diagnosis of the machine. Therefore, designing a robust fault diagnosis (FD) and fault tolerant system (FTS) of PMSG is essential for such applications. This paper describes an FD method that monitors online stator winding partial inter-turn faults in PMSGs. The fault appears in the direct and quadrature (dq)-frame equations of the machine. The extended Kalman filter (EKF) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF) were used to detect the percentage and the place of the fault. The proposed techniques have been simulated for different fault scenarios using Matlab®/Simulink®. The results of the EKF estimation responses simulation were validated with the practical implementation results of tests that were performed with a prototype PMSG used in the Arab Academy For Science and Technology (AAST) machine lab. The results showed impressive responses with different operating conditions when exposed to different fault states to prevent the development of complete failure.

This research investigates the performance of non-linear estimation filtering for GPS-PPP/MEMS-based inertial system. Although integrated GPS/INS system involves nonlinear motion state and measurement models, the most common estimation filter employed is extended Kalman filter. In this paper, both unscented Kalman filter and particle filter are developed and compared with extended Kalman filter. Tightly coupled mechanization is adopted, which is developed in the raw measurements domain. Un-differenced ionosphere-free linear combination of pseudorange and carrier-phase measurements is employed. The performance of the proposed non-linear filters is analyzed using real test scenario. The test results indicate that comparable accuracy-level are obtained from the proposed filters compared with extended Kalman filter in positioning, velocity and attitude when the measurement updates from GPS measurements are available.
