PMU-based state estimation for real-time monitoring of active distribution systems

State estimation (SE) is a crucial tool for power system state monitoring since the control center requires a process to deal with a large number of imprecise measurements. Several SE methods have been applied and developed for the electric power system in the transmission level in the past several decades. Meanwhile, SE for the distribution...

Attitude Estimation of a Quadcopter with one fully damaged rotor using on-board MARG Sensors

Quadcopters are becoming increasingly popular across diverse sectors such as mapping, photography, or surveillance. Since rotor damages occur frequently, it is essential to improve the attitude estimation and thus ultimately the ability to control a damaged quadcopter. The Control and Simulation group of TU Delft developed a quadcopter...

Observer-Based State of Balance Estimation of the Walking Human with Upper Body Inertial Measurement Unit Data

Knowledge of the state of balance of the moving human is essential for the design of fall detection algorithms and wearable robotic controllers for balance assistance. Still, there is no known general method to make an online estimation of the state of balance of the walking human, with the limited and local sensor measurements that are usually...
