Abstract
State estimation for a system with irregular rate and delayed measurements is studied using fusion Kalman filter. Lab data in process plants is usually more accurate compared to other measurements. However, it is often slow rate and subject to variable delay and irregularity in sampling time. Fast rate state estimation can be conducted using fast rate measurement, while the slow rate lab data can be used to improve the accuracy of estimation whenever it is available. For this purpose, two Kalman filters are used to estimate the states based on each type of measurement. The estimates are fused in the next step by considering the correlation between them. An iterative algorithm to obtain the cross-covariance matrix between the estimation errors of the two Kalman filters is presented and employed in the fusion process. The improvement on the accuracy of estimation and comparison with other optimal fusion state estimation techniques are discussed through a simulation example, a pilot-scale experiment and an industrial case study.
