Moving Horizon Estimation

The DBS file parameter imode is used to control the simulation mode. This option is set to 5 for dynamic parameter estimation.

NLC.imode = 5

Moving horizon estimation is optimization of model parameters based on a time series of data measurements. The APMonitor solution engine uses sparse large-scale nonlinear solvers to reconcile the model to available measurements. This approach is desireable for problems with:

  • Constraints
  • Nonlinear Models
  • Infrequent Measurements
  • Explicit Measurement Ranking
  • Rejection of Statistically Insignificant Noise and Outliers
  • Reliable real-time solutions

Moving horizon estimation uses a moving window of previous model predictions and process measurements. As additional measurements arrive, the model is updated with the new information.
