Many existing state estimation approaches assume that the measurement noise of sensors is Gaussian. However, in unmanned aerial vehicles tracking applications with distributed passive radar array, the measurements suffer from quantization noise due to limited communication bandwidth. In this paper, a novel state estimation algorithm referred to as the quantized feedback particle filter is proposed to solve unmanned aerial vehicles tracking with quantized measurements, which is an improvement of the feedback particle filter (FPF) for the case of quantization noise. First, a bearing-only quantized measurement model is presented based on the midriser quantizer. The relationship between quantized measurements and original measurements is analyzed. By assuming that the quantization satisfies [Formula: see text], Sheppard’s correction is used for calculating the variances of the measurement noise. Then, a set of controlled particles is used to approximate the posterior distribution. To cope with the quantization noise of passive radars, a new formula of the gain matrix is derived by modifying the measurement noise covariance. Finally, a typical two-passive radar unmanned aerial vehicles tracking scenario is performed by QFPF and compared with the three other algorithms. Simulation results verify the superiority of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract Aiming at the problem of low filtering accuracy and even divergence caused by model mismatch when using extended Kalman filter in ship GPS navigation and positioning state estimation, a positioning ship state estimation algorithm based on the fusion of improved unscented Kalman filter and particle filter is proposed. Compared with the traditional particle filtering algorithm, the algorithm has two improvements: first, the algorithm uses untraced Kalman as the main framework, and uses the optimal estimation of particle updating state by particle algorithm; Secondly, in the resampling process, a resampling algorithm based on weight optimization is proposed to increase the diversity of particles. The simulation results show that not only the particle degradation degree of the particle filter is reduced, but also the particle tracking accuracy is improved.

Direct Current (DC) grids are considered an attractive option for integrating high shares of renewable energy sources in the electrical distribution grid. Hence, in the future, Alternating Current (AC) and DC systems could be interconnected to form hybrid AC-DC distribution grids. This paper presents a two-step state estimation formulation for the monitoring of hybrid AC-DC grids. In the first step, state estimation is executed independently for the AC and DC areas of the distribution system. The second step refines the estimation results by exchanging boundary quantities at the AC-DC converters. To this purpose, the modulation index and phase angle control of the AC-DC converters are integrated into the second step of the proposed state estimation formulation. This allows providing additional inputs to the state estimation algorithm, which eventually leads to improve the accuracy of the state estimation results. Simulations on a sample AC-DC distribution grid are performed to highlight the benefits resulting from the integration of these converter control parameters for the estimation of both the AC and DC grid quantities.

This paper proposes the development of a three-phase state estimation algorithm, which ensures complete observability for the electric network and a low investment cost for application in typical electric power distribution systems, which usually exhibit low levels of supervision facilities and measurement redundancy. Using the customers´ energy bills to calculate average demands, a three-phase load flow algorithm is run to generate pseudo-measurements of voltage magnitudes, active and reactive power injections, as well as current injections which are used to ensure the electrical network is full-observable, even with measurements available at only one point, the substation-feeder coupling point. The estimation process begins with a load flow solution for the customers´ average demand and uses an adjustment mechanism to track the real-time operating state to calculate the pseudo-measurements successively. Besides estimating the real-time operation state the proposed methodology also generates nontechnical losses estimation for each operation state. The effectiveness of the state estimation procedure is demonstrated by simulation results obtained for the IEEE 13-bus test network and for a real urban feeder.

This paper is concerned with the state estimation problem for an automatic guided vehicle (AGV). A novel set-membership filtering (SMF) scheme is presented to solve the state estimation problem in the trajectory tracking process of the AGV under the unknown-but-bounded (UBB) process and measurement noises. Different from some existing traditional filtering methods, such as Kalman filtering method and [Formula: see text] filtering method, the proposed SMF scheme is developed to provide state estimation sets rather than state estimation points for the system states to effectively deal with UBB noises and reduce the requirement of the sensor precision. Then, in order to obtain the state estimation ellipsoids containing the true states, a set-membership estimation algorithm is designed based on the AGV physical model and S-procedure technique. Finally, comparison examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed SMF scheme for an AGV state estimation problem in the present of the UBB noises.
