An accurate state of charge (SOC) estimation is of great importance for the battery management systems of electric vehicles. To improve the accuracy and robustness of SOC estimation, lithium-ion battery SOC is estimated using an adaptive square root unscented Kalman filter (ASRUKF) method. The square roots of the variance matrices of the SOC and noise can be calculated directly by the ASRUKF al...

The basic problem in Target tracking is to estimate the trajectory of a object from noise corrupted measurements and hence becoming very important field of research as it has wider applications in defense as well as civilian applications. Kalman filter is generally used for such applications. When the process and measurements are non linear extensions of Kalman filters like Extended Kalman Filt...

We present a statistical dynamical Kalman filter and compare its performance to deterministic ensemble square root and stochastic ensemble Kalman filters for error covariance modeling with applications to data assimilation. Our studies compare assimilation and error growth in barotropic flows during a period in 1979 in which several large scale atmospheric blocking regime transitions occurred i...

Battery energy storage management for electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid EV is the most critical and enabling technology since the dawn of electric vehicle commercialization. A battery system is a complex electrochemical phenomenon whose performance degrades with age and the existence of varying material design. Moreover, it is very tedious and computationally very complex to monitor and control...

Kalman filters are often used to estimate the state variables of a dynamic system. However, in the application of Kalman filters some known signal information is often either ignored or dealt with heuristically. For instance, state variable constraints (which may be based on physical considerations) are often neglected because they do not fit easily into the structure of the Kalman filter. This...

The Kalman filtering method is extended to two dimensions. The resulting computational load is found to be excessive. Two new approximations are then introduced. One, called the strip processor, updates a line segment at a time; the other, called the reduced update Kalman filter, is a scalar processor. The reduced update Kalman filter is shown to be optimum in that it minimizes the post update ...

The extended Kalman filter, which linearizes the relationship between security prices and state variables, is widely used in fixed income applications. We investigate if the unscented Kalman filter should be used to capture nonlinearities, and compare the performance of the Kalman filter to that of the particle filter. We analyze the cross section of swap rates, which are mildly nonlinear in th...

In SINS, the inertial components are directly mounted on the carrier.The error can be divided into deterministic error and random drift error (dynamic error), in which, the formercan be compensated. In this case, the initial alignment of the pure static base can achieve a high accuracy. In the practical application, the dynamic error is directly reflected in the inertial device because of influ...

In this paper, an optimal batch estimator and filter based on the Minimum Model Error (MME) approach is developed for three-axis stabilized spacecraft. Three different MME algorithms are developed. The first algorithm estimates the attitude of a spacecraft using rate measurements. The second algorithm estimates the attitude without using rate measurements. The absence of rate data may be a resu...
