Comparison of different state estimator algorithms applied to a simulated anaerobic digestion reactor

Abstract

This study deals with a simulator-based comparison of different state estimators of an anaerobic digestion process. A simulated biogas reactor based on the AM2 model is considered. Extended Kalman Filter, Unscented Kalman Filter, Particle Filter and Moving Horizon Estimator are four state estimators studied. The investigation is on both states and parameters estimation. The maximum number of parameters can be estimated equals the number of the measurement.
