The method performs state estimation on a time delay system by a filtering method, and an iterative replacement method is provided for converting the state quantity at a time k to the state quantity at a time k?h and subsequent items, so as to combine time delay items, thereby avoiding the problem that the dimension is increased when a state matrix A and a state matrix Ah of a time-delay state quantity are subsequently combined into a new state matrix, and reducing the computation complexity and computation time in subsequent computations. Moreover, the estimation accuracy is also improved to a certain extent because of the cancellation of the same items in the iterative replacement.
