“…For instance, if a plant is modeled using a network approach, , then lumping the capacities (i.e., the control volumes) reduces the number of differential equations . If the model has multiple time-scale behavior, then singular perturbation can be used for the reduction of the dynamics of the model. , For one-dimensional distributed systems, the aggregation model reduction method , is another solution to reduce the model’s dynamics. In addition, we quote the balanced truncation method. , This model reduction method reduces the dynamics of the model and maintains the same input−output behavior of the full model.…”
