This paper deals with the topological observability analysis and the development of an observable island identification algorithm for state estimation in power systems, by using the incidence matrix and bus voltage grouping. An analogy of the DC power flow method to the DC circuit analysis is introduced, and all the relationships between power flows and phase angles are replaced by the corresponding current-voltage relation. As a result, a set of topological measurement equation expressed in the form of the incidince matrix is derived for the topological analysis, and the observability test is carried out by examining the rand of the measuremint matrix. The integer Gauss elimination method is introduced in the determination of matrix rand, so that the proposed observability test yields a precise observability criterion without any nearly-zero pivot problem encountered in the conventional algorithm. Also, an observable island identification algorithm reduced its computational time in comparision with the conventional algorithms. The proposed algorithms have been tested for sample systems, and their practicability has verified.

In this paper, presented are the results of observability analysis for the vehicle maneuver during In-Flight Alignment of SDINS. The target system for observability analysis is 10th order one. Three trajectories for IFA are considered. To analyze the observability of the time varying system, correlation coefficient is used and to measure the degree of observability of the given system, simulation is carried out using covariance matrix. The results of simulation show that trajectories which are having continuous changes in attitude and acceleration of system is superior to straight trajectory in correcting navigation errors.

In this paper, the observability of the INS/GPS integrated system for a land vehicle is analyzed on measurements and different filters with respect to the measurements are designed. In the stationary case, it is shown that horizontal accelerometer biases and vertical attitude errors and gyro biases are unobservable. An 8-state filter is designed based on the observability analysis. When GPS signal is available, a 15-state filter is used with position and velocity measurements. To estimate the INS errors even in the case that GPS signal is blocked a filter is designed in consideration of the non-holonomic constraints of a land vehicle. In this case, the horizontal position and velocity errors and vertical attitude error are unobservable. However, a 12-state filter including the velocity states is designed to estimate the accelerometer biases. When GPS signal recovers, a 9-state filter is used excluding the sensor biases. This paper presents a multi-dimensional filter that switches the four filters according to the usable measurements and maneuver environments. A simulation is carried out to verify the performance of the proposed filter.

This paper presents an underwater navigation system based on range measurements from a known reference station fixed on the sea bottom or floated at surface with a buoy, for which the system is extended to 3-dimensional coordinates. We formulated a state equation in polar coordinates and constituted an extended Kalman filter for discrete-time implementation of the navigation algorithm. The autonomous underwater vehicle, lSiMl, cruising with a constant speed can estimate its trajectory using just range measurements and additional depth, heading and pitch sensors. Simulation studies were performed to evaluate the underwater navigation of the maneuvering AUV with range measurements. We modulated the sample rate of range measurements to evaluate the effect of the update rate, and changed the initial position error of the AUV to check the robustness to estimation errors. Simulation results illustrates that the extended navigation system provides convergence of the state estimates. The navigation system was conditionally stable when it had initial position errors.

It is important to measuring and monitoring about state vectors of power system for precise operation control. All state vectors cannot be measured because it is economically disadvantageous, so that some state vectors are determined using state estimator. Determination of observability is a important precondition of power system state estimation because state estimation can be performed when given power system is observable. Recently as time-synchronization technique progress, using the PMU(Phasor Measurement Unit), state vector can be measured directly so that voltage phasor and current phasor measurements can be used for power system estimation. In this paper, observability algorithm is proposed to determinate the observability with real/reactive injection power measurements and real/reactive lineflow power measurements of existing measurement system and with phasor measurements of PMU. The jacobian matrix is newly composed for state estimation with measurements of added PMU, and state estimation is performed with least square estimatior. Comparison between state estimation result of existing measurement system and that of measurement system added PMU is presented.

종래에는 공조덕트의 소음 감소를 위하여 주로 흡음재료를 사용하여 왔다. 그러나 이러한 흡음재료를 이용한 소음감소대책은 500HZ 이상의 고주파 영 역에서는 효과가 있으나 500HZ 이하의 저주파 영역에서는 효과가 적다. 이 러한 500HZ이하의 저주파 소음은 각종 구조물의 진동을 야기시켜 정밀작업 이 요구되는 작업환경을 파괴하고, 심지어는 구조물에 손상을 입힐수도 있 다. 또한 이러한 저주파 소음에 노출된 사람의 심리를 불안하게 하여 일의 효율을 떨어뜨릴 뿐만 아니라 청력장애를 일으키기도 한다. 또한 청정환경이 요구되는 곳에서의 소음감소를 위하여 흡음재료를 사용할 경우 흡음재료로 부터 떨어져 나오는 미세분에 의해 청정환경의 보존이 어려워진다. 이러한 흡음재료를 이용한 수동소음제어 대책의 단점을 해결하기 위하여 소음을 그 소음과 동일한 진폭을 갖으며 위상차가 180도인 인위적인 음파로 상쇠시키 는 능동소음제어대책의 개발이 요구되어 왔다. 본 논문은 덕트 또는 이와 유 사한 음향환경내에서의 적응필터기법(adaptive filtering technique)을 이용한 능동소음제어방법의 개발, 실제구현 및 성능평가에 관한 것으로서, 특히 다 수의 에러 마이크로폰과 다수의 소음제어용 스피커를 사용하여 제어계통의 가관측성(Observability)및 가제어성(Controllability)을 향상시켜 평면파로 전 달되는 소음의 감소를 증대시킬수 있을 뿐만 아니라 고차모드(Higher-order mode)로 전달되는 소음의 제어도 가능케하는 능동소음제어 방법에 관하여 논하였다.

For linear time-varying systems described by the triple (A(t),B(t),C(t)) where A(t),B(t),C(t) are the system, the input, and the output matrices, respectively, we propose concepts for measures of modal and gross controllability /observability. We introduce a differential algebraic eigenbvalue theory for linear time-varying systems to calculate the PD-eigenvalues and left and right PD-eigenvectors of the system matrix A(t) which will be used to derive the concepts for the measures. The time-dependent angle between the left PD-eigenvectors of the system matrix A(t) and the columns of the input matrix B(t), and the magnitude of the each element of the input matrix B(t) are used to propose the modal controllability measure. Similarly, the time-dependent angle between the right PD-eigenvectors of the system matrix A(t) and the rows of the output matrix C(t) are used to propose the madal observability measure. Gross measure of controllability of a mode from all inputs and its gross measure of observability in all outputs for the linear time-varying systems are also proposed. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the proposed concepts.

This paper presents an improved algorithm of optimal measurement system design with a reliability evaluation method for a large power system. The proposed algorithm is developed to cosider the observability and to achieve highest accuracy of the state estimator as well with the limited investment cost. When the effect on these dummy bus measurements is considered in the proposed algorithm the other errors in the power system is also detected and then analyzed until to achieve the limited values. By taking advantage of the matrix sparsity and the optimal bus ordering the memory and the time are successfully reduced in the P/C's and workstation's model. The improved program is successfully tested for IEEK sample system and KEPCO system with PSS/E lineflow calculated data package.

This paper presents a robust centralized control scheme for a magnetic bearing system which supports a rigid rotor at both shaft ends in the radial direction. The negative stiffness element and the inductive force associated with bearing magnetic field are considered in the dynamic model of the system. For this model, the controllability and observability are examined, and then a robust control theory is applied to design two types of multi-input multi-output servocontrollers. A general servocompensator is embedded in the first one and a centralized PID controller is suggested as a second one. By simulation study, the performance of two types of servocontrollers are compared in the aspects of disturbance rejection, reference tracking and the robustness limit.

In lunar exploration, the necessity of utilizing rover is verified by the examples of the Soviet Union and China and the similar Mars missions of the United States. In order to achieve the successful management of a lunar rover, a high precision navigation technique is required, and accordingly, high precision initial alignment is essential. Even though it is general to perform initial alignment in a steady state, a multiposition alignment technique is applied when high performance is needed. On the lunar surface, however, the performance of initial alignment decreases from that on Earth, and it cannot be improved by applying multiposition alignment method owing to certain constraints of lunar environment. In this paper, a sun sensor aided multiposition alignment technique is proposed. The measurement model for a sun vector is established, and its observability analysis is performed. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified through computer simulations, and the results show the estimation performance is improved dramatically.
