A new result for balancing control of a bicycle robot (bicyrobo), employing reduced-order modelling of a pre-specified design controller structure in higher-order to derive into a reduced controller has been presented in this paper. The bicyrobo, which is an unstable system accompanying other causes of uncertainty such as UN-model dynamics, parameter deviations, and external disruptions has been of great interests to researchers. The controllers in the literature reviews come up with the higher order controller (HOC), the overall system becomes complex from the perspective of analysis, synthesis, enhancement and also not easy to handle it's hardware implementation. Therefore, a reduced-order pre-specified controller is developed in this work. It is effective enough to tackle unpredictable dynamics. The reduced-order controller (ROC) design is based on model order reduction (MOR) method, which is a resutl of hybridization of balanced truncation (BT) and singular perturbation approximation (SPA) approach. The reduced model so obtained, which retains DC gain as well, has been named as balanced singular perturbation approximation (BSPA) approach. It is based upon the preservation of dominant modes (i.e. appropriate states) of the system as well as the removal of states having relatively less important distinguishing features. The strong demerit of the BT method is that, for reduced-order model (ROM), steady-state values or DC gain do not match with the actual system values. The BSPA has been enabled to account for this demerit. The method incorporates greater dominant requirements and contributes to a better approximation as compared to the existing methods. The results obtained by applying proposed controller, are compared with those of the controllers previously designed and published for the same type of work. Comparatively, the proposed controller has been shown to have better performance as HOC. The performance of HOC and ROC is also examined with perturbed bicyrobo in terms of time-domain analysis and performance indices error.

Quantitative criteria are presented for model simplification, or order reduction, such that the reduced order model may be used to synthesize and evaluate a control law, and the stability and stability robustness obtained using the reduced order model will be preserved when controlling the higher order system. The error introduced due to model simplification is treated as modeling uncertainty, and some of the results from multivariable robustness theory are brought to bear on the model simplification problem. Also, the importance of the control law itself, in meeting the modeling criteria, is underscored. A weighted balanced order reduction technique is shown to lead to results that meet the necessary criteria. The procedure is applied to an aeroelastic vehicle model, and the results are used for control law development. Critical robustness properties designed into the lower order closed-loop system are shown to be present in the higher order closed-loop system.

A Padé approximation based technique for designing a suboptimal controller is presented. The technique uses matching of both time moments and Markov parameters for model order reduction. In this method, the suboptimal controller is first derived for reduced order model and then implemented for higher order plant by partial feedback of measurable states.

Purpose Efficient calculations of the transient behaviour after disturbances of large-scale power systems are complex because of, among other things, the non-linearity and the stiffness of the overall state equation system (SES). Because of the rising amount of flexible transmission system elements, there is an increasing need for reduced order models with a negligible loss of accuracy. With the Extended Nodal Approach and the application of the singular perturbation method, it is possible to reduce the order of the SES adapted to the respective setting of the desired tasks and accuracy requirements. Design/methodology/approach Based on a differential-algebraic equation for the electric power system which is formulated with the Extended Nodal Approach, the automatic decomposition into reduced order models is shown in this paper. The paper investigates the effects of different coordinate systems for an automatic order reduction with the singular perturbation method, as well as a comparison of results calculated with the full and reduced order models. Findings The eigenvalues of the full system are approximated sufficiently by the three subsystems. A simulation example demonstrates the good agreement between the reduced order models and the full model independent of the choice of the coordinate system. The decomposed subsystems in rotating coordinates have benefits as compared to those in static coordinates. Originality/value The paper presents a systematic decomposition based only on a differential-algebraic equation system of the electric power system into three subsystems.

To solve a stochastic linear evolution equation numerically, finite dimensional approximations are commonly used. For a good approximation, one might end up with a sequence of ordinary stochastic linear equations of high order. To reduce the high dimension for practical computations, we consider the singular perturbation approximation as a model order reduction technique in this paper. This approach is well-known from deterministic control theory and here we generalize it for controlled linear systems with Lévy noise. Additionally, we discuss properties of the reduced order model, provide an error bound, and give some examples to demonstrate the quality of this model order reduction technique.
