We propose an efficient sparsity-preserving reduced-order modelling approach for index-1 descriptor systems extracted from large-scale power system models through two-sided projection techniques. The projectors are configured by utilizing Gramian based singular value decomposition (SVD) and Krylov subspace-based reduced-order modelling. The left projector is attained from the observability Gramian of the system by the low-rank alternating direction implicit (LR-ADI) technique and the right projector is attained by the iterative rational Krylov algorithm (IRKA). The classical LR-ADI technique is not suitable for solving Riccati equations and it demands high computation time for convergence. Besides, in most of the cases, reduced-order models achieved by the basic IRKA are not stable and the Riccati equations connected to them have no finite solution. Moreover, the conventional LR-ADI and IRKA approach not preserves the sparse form of the index-1 descriptor systems, which is an essential requirement for feasible simulations. To overcome those drawbacks, the fitting of LR-ADI and IRKA based projectors from left and right sides, respectively, desired reduced-order systems attained. So that, finite solution of low-rank Riccati equations, and corresponding feedback matrix can be executed. Using the mechanism of inverse projection, the Riccati-based optimal feedback matrix can be computed to stabilize the unstable power system models. The proposed approach will maintain minimized ℌ2 -norm of the error system for reduced-order models of the target models.

In this paper we discuss a theoretical technique for decomposing multi-degree-of-freedom weakly nonlinear systems into a simpler form — an approach which has parallels with the well know method for linear modal analysis. The key outcome is that the system resonances, both linear and nonlinear are revealed by the transformation process. For each resonance, parameters can be obtained which characterise the backbone curves, and higher harmonic components of the response. The underlying mathematical technique is based on a near identity normal form transformation. This is an established technique for analysing weakly nonlinear vibrating systems, but in this approach we use a variation of the method for systems of equations written in second-order form. This is a much more natural approach for structural dynamics where the governing equations of motion are written in this form as standard practice. In fact the first step in the method is to carry out a linear modal transformation using linear modes as would typically done for a linear system. The near identity transform is then applied as a second step in the process and one which identifies the nonlinear resonances in the system being considered. For an example system with cubic nonlinearities, we show how the resulting transformed equations can be used to obtain a time independent representation of the system response. We will discuss how the analysis can be carried out with applied forcing, and how the approximations about response frequencies, made during the near-identity transformation, affect the accuracy of the technique. In fact we show that the second-order normal form approach can actually improve the predictions of sub- and super-harmonic responses. Finally we comment on how this theoretical technique could be used as part of a modal testing approach in future work.
