INDIRECT CLOSED-LOOP IDENTIFICATION BY OPTIMAL INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLE METHOD

摘要

Recently, a new bias-compensating least-squares (BCLS) method was proposed for the identification of a closed-loop system with high-order controller. The major feature of this method is that it can achieve consistent parameter estimation without modelling the coloured noises acting on the system. This paper studies the connection between the BCLS method and the instrumental variable (IV) family. It is shown that the BCLS method is a kind of weighted instrumental variable (WIV) method whose results do not depend upon the order of the controller. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
