Robust state estimation for singularly perturbed systems

ABSTRACT

This paper deals with the design of interval observers for singularly perturbed linear systems. The full-order system is first decoupled into slow and fast subsystems. Then, using the cooperativity theory, an interval observer is designed for the slow and fast subsystems assuming that the measurement noise and the disturbances are bounded and the singular perturbed parameter is uncertain. This decoupling leads to two observers that estimate the lower and upper bounds for the feasible state domain. A numerical example shows the efficiency of the proposed technique.
