Structural information of a system/controller allows a designer to diagnose performance characteristics in advance and to make better choices of solution methods. Singular value decomposition (SVD) is a powerful structural analysis tool that has been applied to linear systems and controller designs, but it has not been used for nonlinear systems. In this paper, SVD is use to structurally analyze and to optimally design nonlinear control systems using the linear algebraic equivalence of the nonlinear controller. Specifically, SVD is used to identify control input/output mode shapes, and the control input/output distribution patterns are analyzed with the mode shapes. Optimizing control effort and performance is achieved by truncating some mode shapes in the linear mode shape combinations.

In a Part I (Structural Analysis of Nonlinear Control System using Singular Value Decomposition: Part I—Approach), structural analysis algorithms for nonlinear control systems were developed applying singular value decomposition (SVD) on the linear algebraic equivalence of the nonlinear controller. In this paper, the proposed algorithms are applied to the temperature control of a thermal system which has control input constraints. Control input/output modes, weights of linear mode combination, colinearity, and mode truncation concepts introduced in Part I, are used to analyze and find the cause of input-constraint-violating-control of the nonlinear controller designed for the thermal system and to redesign the nonlinear controller to satisfy the input constraints and to reduce control effort.
