DATA RECONCILIATION IN GENERALIZED LINEAR DYNAMIC-SYSTEMS

A generalized linear dynamic model or singular model, for which the standard state space representation and the Kalman filtering cannot be applied, is used to develop a new algorithm to solve the linear dynamic material balance problem. This algorithm is based on the method developed in the steady-state case and leads to a recursive scheme, which is very useful in real-time processing. It reduces the computational problem such as singularities and round-off errors that may occur in complex systems. Convergence conditions are given and verified for the dynamic material balance case.
