The Role of Simple Techniques in Model Order Reduction Backed by Fast Interactive Simulation to Verify Model Accuracy

摘要

The role of model order reduction techniques which rely solely on neglecting relatively large system poles is examined. The advent of fast, simple to use, interactive simulation languages makes this simple method attractive as a first try. The good results which simple techniques can achieve are shown by application to a 10th order model of an electric arc furnace electrode position controller. This is reduced to a sixth order model by the simple technique, and also by a mathematically rigorous plane-projection method. Comparison of the resulting models shows that the one produced simply is just as good as, and avoids the mathematical complexity of, other techniques.
