Filtro de Kalman Estendido com o modelo da interferência eletromagnetica de linhas de transmissão aplicado a veiculos autônomos aéreos

Abstract

This work aims to apply the Extended Kalman Filter technique with colored noise to a quadrotor-type aircraft to attenuate electromagnetic interference from power trans-mission lines in order to increase the reliability and safety of nearby flights. To perform autonomous monitoring missions, the developed technique aims to estimate the value of the electromagnetic interference produced by high voltage power transmission lines, which makes possible to apply the necessary correction. This estimation is made from the mathematical model of the power line electromagnetic field, which takes into ac-count the position, line current, physical transmission system, among others. In order to evaluate the results, it was used non-intrusive performance indexes that take into account the integrated absolute error (IAE) and the integrated square error (ISE). The results were considered efficient and applicable based on performance indices, allowing the operator to perform all the missions as planned, and the distance between the vehicle and the transmission line can be reduced which, consequently, result in a more detailed analysis and increases the monitoring quality and the faults identification along the route.
