A phasor estimation algorithm based on the least square curve fitting technique for the distorted secondary current due to current transformer (CT) saturation is proposed. The mathematical form of the secondary current during CT saturation is represented as the scaled primary current with magnetizing current. The information on the scaled primary current is estimated using the least square technique, with the measured secondary current in the saturated section. The proposed method can estimate the phasor of a fundamental frequency component during the saturated period. The performance of the algorithm is validated under various fault and CT conditions using a C400 CT model. A series of performance evaluations shows that the proposed phasor estimation algorithm can estimate the phasor of the fundamental frequency component with high accuracy, regardless of fault conditions and CT characteristics.

This paper deals with the precise parameter estimation of an air vehicle without a priori information. First, Recursive Least Squares technique, which is an equation error method and does not require any a priori information, is applied and then the extended Kalman filter is used to tune parameters more precisely. To show the performance, a nonlinear longitudinal missile model is simulated and the parameters are estimated. The results show that this consecutive application of the techniques gives a very good estimation performance.

This paper presents the development and application of electrical resistance imaging techniques for the visualization of two-phase flow fields. Two algorithms, the so-called the mesh grouping and the boundary estimation, are described for potential applications of electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and results from extensive numerical simulations are also presented. In the electrical resistance imaging for two-phase flows, numerical meshes fairly belonging to each phase can be grouped to improve the reconstruction performance. In many cases, the detection of phase boundary is a key subject and a mathematical model to estimate phase boundary can be formulated in a different manner. Our results indicated that the mesh grouping algorithm is effective to enhance computational performance and image quality, and boundary estimation algorithm to determine the phase boundary directly.

This paper proposes the design methodology of genetic algorithm (GA)-based fuzzy Kalman filter for tracking the maneuvering target. The performance of the standard Kalman Filter (SKF) has been degraded because mismatches between the modeled target dynamics and the actual target dynamics. To solve this problem, we use the method to estimate the increment of acceleration by a fuzzy system using the relation between maneuver filter residual and non-maneuvering one. To optimize the fuzzy system, a genetic algorithm (GA) is utilized and this is then tuned by the fuzzy logic correction. Finally, the tracking performance of the proposed method has been compared with those of the input estimation (IE) technique and the intelligent input estimation (IIE) through computer simulations.

In this paper we propose a variance function estimation method for replicated data based on averages of squared residuals obtained from estimated mean function by the least squares support vector machine. Newton-Raphson method is used to obtain associated parameter vector for the variance function estimation. Furthermore, the cross validation functions are introduced to select the hyper-parameters which affect the performance of the proposed estimation method. Experimental results are then presented which illustrate the performance of the proposed procedure.

An expert system for estimation of fatigue properties from simple tensile data of material is developed, considering nearly all important estimation methods proposed so far, i.e., 7 estimation methods. The expert system is developed using an expert system shell, UNIK, and the knowledge base is constructed with production rules and frames. Forward chaining is employed as a reasoning method. The expert system has three major functions including the function to update the knowledge base. The performance of the expert system is tested using the 54 ${\sigma}-N$ curves consisting of 381 ${\sigma}-N$ data points obtained for 22 materials. It is found that the expert system developed has excellent performance especially for steel materials, and reasonably good for titanium alloys.

The objective of this paper is to propose a new efficient technique for the estimation of time-delay parameters using wavelet theory and third-order cumulants, yielding good performance even in the case of low SNR. In particular, band-limited non-Gaussian signals with non-zero skewness and spatially correlated Gaussian noises are considered here. The approach is based on the fact that the effects of spatially correlated Gaussian noises on time-delay estimation can be reduced by using the projection sequences (based on the redundant wavelet decomposition) of given measurements in the higher-order cumulant domain. Finally, the performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated using simulations.

A novel rotor speed estimation method using Model Reference Adaptive Control(MRAC) is proposed to improve the performance of a sensorless vector controller. In the proposed mettled, the stator current is used as the model variable for estimating the speed. In conventional MRAC methods, the relation between the two model errors and the speed estmation error is unclear. Yet, in the proposed method, the stator current error is represented as a function of the first degree for the error value in the speed estimation. Therefore, the proposed method can produce a fast speed estimation and is robust to the parameters error In addition, the proposed method of offers a considerable improvement in the performance of a sensorless vector controller at a low speed. The superiority of the proposed method is verified by simulation and experiment in a low speed region and at a zero-speed.

본 논문에서는 정합 필터 출력을 이용하여 연산 복잡도가 감소된 DS/CDMA DMB 하향 링크 시스템에서의 부분 공간 채널 추정 기법을 제안한다. 연산 복잡도 감소 효과는 채널 벡터의 길이가 짧고 시스템의 부하가 적절할 때 매우 크게 나타난다. 이전에 제안된 부분 공간 채널 추정 알고리즘은 화산 이득이 큰 시스템에서 막대한 연산 복잡도 문제를 겪게 된다. 제안된 알고리즘에 약간의 성능 손실이 발생하지만 데이터 행렬의 길이가 길어지게 되면 그 영향은 미미해진다. 시뮬레이션과 분석적인 MSE 성능의 유도를 통해 성능을 평가한다.

In this paper, we present a novel and numerically efficient algorithm for high resolution TOA(Time Of Arrival) estimation under indoor radio propagation channels. The proposed algorithm is not dependent on the structure of receivers, i.e, it can be used with either coherent or non-coherent receivers. The TOA estimation algorithm is based on a high resolution frequency estimation algorithm of Minimum-norm. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm relies on numerical analysis techniques in computing signal or noise subspaces. The algorithm is based on the two step procedures, one for transforming input data to frequency domain data and the other for estimating the unknown TOA using the proposed efficient algorithm. The efficiency in number of operations over other algorithms is presented. The performance of the proposed algorithm is investigated by means of computer simulations.. Throughout the analytic and computer simulation results, we show that the proposed algorithm exhibits superior performance in estimating TOA estimation with limited computational cost.
