Abstract
"The difficulty in measuring all the required states of a system necessitates the use of observers/estimators. The use of Extended Kalman Observer/Filter (EKO/EKF) for providing optimal state estimates for nonlinear system is well documented in literature. However the linearization assumption inherent in EKO/EKF implementation hinders its estimation characteristics. In this work a new optimal method for estimating states of a nonlinear system is presented. The observer design is posed as an optimal output tracking problem by defining an appropriate cost function. The correction to the observer states is shown to be function of the solution of the Two Point Boundary Value Problem (TPBVP) resulting from minimizing the cost function. In this thesis, Single Network Adaptive Critic (SNAC) based neural network structure is used to find the solution of a nonlinear TPBVP. Numerical simulations illustrating accurate state estimation and robustness of the Neuro-observer are presented. An analytical scheme using the State Dependant Riccati Equation (SDRE) is also employed to solve the nonlinear TPBVP. Illustrative simulation results are presented for the SORE based observer"--Abstract, page iii.
