Abstract:
This study has three main objectives. First, to point and discuss the principal features, advantages, and limitations of distributed state estimators. Second, to analyze structures and methodologies related to the distributed state estimation problem, with emphasis on the heterarchical one. Finally, to delineate some prospects for future investigations.
