A Novel Approach for Model Order Reduction in Discrete Time System

Abstract

In modern digital control system such as model reference control and model predictive control, where the real time calculation is the main challenge, the model order reduction has become very important issue to minimize the execution time. In this work, our aim is to construct a novel technique for reduction of high order discrete time systems. This could be achieved by computation algorithm model from a given high order pulse transfer function. The proposed model is based on matching the weighting sequence of the original parameters with those adopted in the low-order model. The generalized least squares method is then used to determine the reduced model parameters. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is validated by using the integral squared error minimization between the original system and the reduced model. An example is presented and discussed to validate the efficiency of the proposed low-order model. Performance comparisons with many recent related works showed that the proposed model is promising in terms of low error indices and time responses.
