This paper is focused on the design of a nonlinear observer for a rotatory machine with noise-affected output. It is assumed that the system is subject to bounded perturbations, and the original linear model of the machine is reformulated as a nonlinear system to include the desired signals to be estimated, namely, the velocity and load torque. The proposed observer leverages the so-called algebraic state-dependent Riccati equation to provide a robust estimation. Lyapunov analysis guarantees the convergence of the estimation error to a “κ zone”. The proposed observer’s effectiveness is assessed through convincing numerical simulations and real-time experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
