SEARCH ALGORITHM FOR THE PARAMETRIC IDENTIFICATION OF THE ELECTRIC DRIVE OF THE MONITORING SYSTEM by A. S. Abufanas, A. A. Lobaty, A. G. Shvedko

“…The identification algorithm is developed on the basis of the representation of the model of parameters in the form of an ordinary vector-matrix equation, on the right side of which there is a model of the driving influence in the form of a given deterministic function of time. A general structural diagram of the parametric identification search system with a gradient algorithm is presented.As an example for evaluating the operability of the proposed algorithm, we consider the simplest model of an electric drive, given by a transfer function in the form of an inertial link. …”
