<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We examine the complexity of constructing reduced order models for subsets of the variables needed to represent the state of the power grid. In particular, we apply model reduction techniques to the DeMarco-Zheng power grid model. We show that due to the oscillating nature of the solutions and the absence of timescale separation between resolved and unresolved variables, the construction of accurate reduced models becomes highly non-trivial because one has to account for long memory effects. In addition, we show that a reduced model that includes even a short memory is drastically better than a memoryless model.</p>

Model reduction is a process of approximating higher order original models by comparatively lower order models with reasonable accuracy in order to provide ease in design, modeling and simulation for large complex systems. Generally, model reduction techniques approximate the higher order systems for whole frequency range. However, certain applications (like controller reduction) require frequency weighted approximation, which introduce the concept of using frequency weights in model reduction techniques. Limitations of some existing frequency weighted model reduction techniques include lack of stability of reduced order models (for two sided weighting case) and frequency response error bounds. A new frequency weighted technique for balanced model reduction for discrete time systems is proposed. The proposed technique guarantees stable reduced order models even for the case when two sided weightings are present. Efficient technique for frequency weighted Gramians is also proposed. Results are compared with other existing frequency weighted model reduction techniques for discrete time systems. Moreover, the proposed technique yields frequency response error bounds.


We present a method for model reduction of finite-volume models that guarantees the resulting reduced-order model is conservative, thereby preserving the structure intrinsic to finite-volume discretizations [1]. The proposed reduced-order models associate with optimization problems characterized by (1) a minimum-residual objective function and (2) nonlinear equality constraints that explicitly enforce conservation over subdomains. Conservative Galerkin projection arises from formulating this optimization problem at the time-continuous level, while conservative least- squares Petrov–Galerkin (LSPG) projection associates with a time-discrete formulation. We note that other recent works have also considered ROMs that associate with constrained optimization problems [3, 2], although none are conservative. We equip these approaches with hyper-reduction techniques in the case of nonlinear flux and source terms, and also provide approaches for handling infeasibility. In addition, we perform analyses that include deriving conditions under which conservative Galerkin and conservative LSPG are equivalent, as well as deriving a posteriori error bounds. On a parameterized quasi-1D Euler equation problem, the proposed method not only conserves mass, momentum, and energy globally, but also has significantly lower state-space errors than nonconservative reduced-order models such as standard Galerkin and LSPG projection.

This paper is the second part of a two part study that develops, validates and integrates a one-dimensional, physics-based, dynamic boiler model. Part 1 of this study [1] extended and validated a particular modelling framework to boilers. This paper uses this framework to first present a higher order model of a gas turbine based cogeneration plant. The significant dynamics of the cogeneration system are then identified, corresponding to states in the gas path, the steam path, the gas turbine shaft, gas turbine wall temperatures and boiler wall temperatures. A model reduction process based on time scale separation and singular perturbation theory is then demonstrated. Three candidate reduced order models are identified using this model reduction process, and the simplest, acceptable dynamic model of this integrated plant is found to require retention of both the gas turbine and boiler wall temperature dynamics. Subsequent analysis of computation times for the original physics-based one-dimensional model and the candidate, reduced order models demonstrates that significantly faster than real time simulation is possible in all cases. Furthermore, with systematic replacement of the algebraic states with feedforward maps in the reduced order models, further computational savings of up to one order of magnitude can be achieved. This combination of model fidelity and computational tractability suggest suggests that the resulting reduced order models may be suitable for use in model based control of cogeneration plants.

A new approach in multimodeling strategy is proposed. Multimodel strategies in which control agents use different simplified models of the same system are being developed using balancing transformation and the corresponding order reduction concepts. Traditionally, the multimodeling concept was studied using the ideas of multitime scales (singular perturbations) and weak subsystem coupling. For all reduced-order models obtained, a Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control problem was solved. Different order reduction techniques were compared based on the values of the optimized criteria for the closed-loop case where the full-order balanced model utilizes regulators calculated to be the optimal for various reduced-order models. The results obtained were demonstrated on a real-world example: a multiarea power system consisting of two identical areas, that is, two identical power plants.

The development of accurate and efficient numerical models for jointed structures is an important and challenging problem. Due to nonlinearities in the joints, notably dry friction, contact stiffness, and impact, joint models are often complicated and computer-intensive. To create practical models, engineers typically combine “lumped joint models” with reduced-order models for the structural members that they connect. However, the model reduction often distorts how the joint behaves and sometimes destroys important qualitative traits. Simple modal truncation is often inadequate to produce reduced-order models because nonlinearities within the joints such as impact and dry friction can depend critically on the high-frequency characteristics of the mating structural elements. This paper examines the issues surrounding the development of accurate, reduced-order models for nonlinear, jointed structures. The concept of “balanced realizations” from control theory are used to create reduced-order models that best capture the input-output characterization of the linear substructures with the smallest model order. The balanced-realizations are seen to produce very favorable results when compared with standard modal truncation techniques.

In this work, the basic problem of order reduction of nonlinear systems subjected to an external periodic excitation is considered. This problem deserves special attention because modes that interact (linearly or nonlinearly) with external excitation dominate the response. These dominant modes are identified and chosen as the “master” modes to be retained in the reduction process. The simplest idea could be to use a linear approach such as the Guyan reduction and choose those modes whose natural frequencies are close to that of external excitation as the master modes. However, this technique does not guarantee accurate results when nonlinear interactions are strong and a nonlinear approach must be adopted. Recently, the invariant manifold technique has been extended to forced problems by “augmenting” the state space, i.e., forcing is treated as an additional state and an invariant manifold is constructed. However, this process does not provide a clear picture of possible resonances and conditions under which an order reduction is possible. In a direct innovative approach suggested here, a nonlinear time-dependent relationship between the dominant and nondominant states is assumed and the dimension of the state space remains the same. This methodology not only yields accurate reduced order models but also explains the consequences of various primary and secondary resonances present in the system. One obtains various reducibility conditions in a closed form, which show interactions among eigenvalues, nonlinearities and the external excitation. One can also recover all “resonance conditions” obtained via perturbation or averaging techniques. The “linear” as well as the “extended invariant manifold” techniques are applied to some typical problems and results for large-scale and reduced order models are compared. It is anticipated that these techniques will provide a useful tool in the analysis and control of large-scale externally excited nonlinear systems.
