Order Reduction Method

The paper addresses issues associated with implementing GPC controllers in systems with multiple input signals. Depending on the method of identification, the resulting models may be of a high order and when applied to a control/regulation law, may result in numerical errors due to the limitations of representing values in double-precision floating point numbers. This phenomenon is to be avoided, because even if the model is correct, the resulting numerical errors will lead to poor control performance. An effective way to identify, and at the same time eliminate, this unfavorable feature is to reduce the model order. A method of model order reduction is presented in this paper that effectively mitigates these issues. In this paper, the Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) algorithm is presented, followed by a discussion of the conditions that result in high order models. Examples are included where the discussed problem is demonstrated along with the subsequent results after the reduction. The obtained results and formulated conclusions are valuable for industry practitioners who implement a predictive control in industry.

A correlation-based model order reduction algorithm is developed using support vector machine to model [Formula: see text] emission and break mean effective pressure of a medium-duty diesel engine. The support vector machine–based model order reduction algorithm is used to reduce the number of features of a 34-feature full-order model by evaluating the regression performance of the support vector machine–based model. Then, the support vector machine–based model order reduction algorithm is used to reduce the number of features of the full-order model. Two models for [Formula: see text] emission and break mean effective pressure are developed via model order reduction, one complex model with high accuracy, called high-order model, and the other with an acceptable accuracy and a simple structure, called low-order model. The high-order model has 29 features for [Formula: see text] and 20 features for break mean effective pressure, while the low-order model has nine features for [Formula: see text] and six features for break mean effective pressure. Then, the steady-state low-order model and high-order model are implemented in a nonlinear control-oriented model. To verify the accuracy of nonlinear control-oriented model, a fast response electrochemical [Formula: see text] sensor is used to experimentally study the engine transient [Formula: see text] emissions. The high-order model and low-order model support vector machine models of [Formula: see text] and break mean effective pressure are compared to a conventional artificial neural network with one hidden layer. The results illustrate that the developed support vector machine model has shorter training times (5–14 times faster) and higher accuracy especially for test data compared to the artificial neural network model. A control-oriented model is then developed to predict the dynamic behavior of the system. Finally, the performance of the low-order model and high-order model is evaluated for different rising and falling input transients at four different engine speeds. The transient test results validate the high accuracy of the high-order model and the acceptable accuracy of low-order model for both [Formula: see text] and break mean effective pressure. The high-order model is proposed as an accurate virtual plant while the low-order model is suitable for model-based controller design.

Order Reduction Method

We present a new iterative model order reduction method for large-scale linear time-invariant dynamical systems, based on a combined singular value decomposition–adaptive-order rational Arnoldi (SVD-AORA) approach. This method is an extension of the SVD-rational Krylov method. It is based on two-sided projections: the SVD side depends on the observability Gramian by the resolution of the Lyapunov equation, and the Krylov side is generated by the adaptive-order rational Arnoldi based on moment matching. The use of the SVD provides stability for the reduced system, and the use of the AORA method provides numerical efficiency and a relative lower computation complexity. The reduced model obtained is asymptotically stable and minimizes the error ($H_{2}$and$H_{\infty }$) between the original and the reduced system. Two examples are given to study the performance of the proposed approach.
