摘要:AbstractTennessee Eastman challenge process (TE) has been well known in process control literature as a challenge problem in estimation and control. Complexities in this nonlinear process and corresponding measurement models lead to non-Gaussian densities and estimators which can accommodate the non-Gaussianity can give better state estimates. In this work, we compare and demonstrate the utility of recently developed Sum of Gaussians based Unscented Gaussian Sum Filter (UGSF) for performing nonlinear state estimation of the process. UGSF uses sigma point concept to capture process nonlinearities coupled with a Sum of Gaussians approximation to achieve an accurate representation of non-Gaussian prior densities evolved from the process. The performance of UGSF is compared with the well known Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) approaches, for one of the operating modes of TE process. Results demonstrate the utility of using UGSF as a state estimator for the large-dimensional and highly nonlinear TE process.
