In this paper, we study the structural state and input observability of continuous-time switched linear time-invariant systems and unknown inputs. First, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for their structural state and input observability that can be efficiently verified in , where is the number of state variables, is the number of unknown inputs, and is the number of modes. Moreover, we address the minimum sensor placement problem for these systems by adopting a feed-forward analysis and by providing an algorithm with a computational complexity of , where is the number of target strongly connected components of the system’s digraph representation. Lastly, we apply our algorithm to a real-world example in power systems to illustrate our results.
