Résumé : In an attempt to combine the advantages of an exponential state observer (i.e. fast convergence with an accurate model) and an asymptotic one (i.e. convergence without any knowledge about the kinetic model), a stochastic hybrid observer, which compares the observations made by the two observers has been developed (Hulhoven et al., 2003). This comparison is made in order to perform a test on the process model quality and to provide a state estimation that evolves, accordingly, between the state estimation provided by the exponential observer and the one from the asymptotic one. In this contribution, the stochastic hybrid observer is established by using a full horizon observer as the exponential observer. The performances of this hybrid observer, are then tested on a simulated fed-batch cell culture.
