Bilinear Observer/Kalman Filter Identification
Bilinear systems are important per se since several phenomena in engineering and other fields are inherently bilinear. Even more interestingly, bilinear systems can approximate more general nonlinear systems, providing a promising approach to handle various nonlinear identification and control problems, such as satellite attitude control. This paper develops and demonstrates via numerical examples a method for discrete-time state-space model identification for bilinear systems in the presence of noise in the process and in the measurements. The formulation relies on a bilinear observer which is proven to have properties similar to the linear Kalman filter under the sole additional assumption of stationary white excitation input, and on a novel approach to system identification based on the estimation of the observer residuals. The latter are used to construct a new, noise-free identification problem, in which the observer is identified and the matrices of the system state-space model are recovered. The resulting method represents the bilinear counterpart of the Observer/Kalman filter Identification (OKID) approach for linear systems, originally developed for the identification of lightly-damped structures and distributed by NASA.
