Observability of Complex Systems: Minimal Cost Sensor Network Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plants instrumentation is a crucial issue due to the importance of sensors in allowing the observability and in increasing the redundancy and the reliability. Designing a sensor network becomes complicated when the complexity of the system increases. In this paper, a strategy is proposed to design a minimal cost sensor network ensuring the observability of complex systems. The strategy is based on the decomposition of complex systems into subsystems. This decomposition helps in treating each subsystem separately and allows the use of reduced order observers rather than one observer for the whole system.

Power system state estimation is a process to find the bus voltage magnitudes and phase angles at every bus based on a given measurement set. The state estimation convergency is related to the sufficiency of the measurement set. Observability analysis actually tests this kind of problem and guarantees the state estimation accuracy. A new and useful algorithm is proposed and applied in this pape...
متن کاملA Polynomial-Time Algorithm for Solving the Minimal Observability Problem in Conjunctive Boolean Networks
Many complex systems in biology, physics, and engineering include a large number of state-variables, and measuring the full state of the system is often impossible. Typically, a set of sensors is used to measure part of the state-variables. A system is called observable if these measurements allow to reconstruct the entire state of the system. When the system is not observable, an important and...

In this letter we discuss cost optimization of sensor networks monitoring structurally full-rank systems under distributed observability constraint. Using structured systems theory, the problem is relaxed into two subproblems: (i) sensing cost optimization and (ii) networking cost optimization. Both problems are reformulated as combinatorial optimization problems. The sensing cost optimization ...

In wide area measurement systems, PMUs are the main component measuring real time synchronized data from different buses. Installation of PMUs at all buses is a primary way to provide full observability of the power network. However, it is not practical in real networks due to the relatively expensive cost of PMUs and other technical limitations. Optimal PMU Placement (OPP) is an optimization p...
