The Parametric Identification of a Stationary Process

Abstract

In the problems of identification it is supposed that the process has at least one measurable input size and at least one measurable output size. The identification of a process has three stages: the obtaining of a registration of process measurable sizes; the choice of a proper mathematical model for the process; the extract of the parameter values of the mathematical models from registered data. The parametric identification problem is an optimization problem, in which the best combination of values for the model parameters set is searched. In the paper is presented the parametric identification of a water flow process in a laboratory stand. The identification had the following dims: detailed understanding of how the stand works, finding a new illustrative experiment for the stand, the application of advanced techniques of automat control, and the development of a project of new stand, meant to allow a large variety of experiments.
