Phase Preserving Balanced Truncation for Order Reduction of Positive Real Systems

This paper presents a new passivity-preserving order reduction method for linear time-invariant passive systems, which are also called positive real (PR) systems, with the aid of the balanced truncation (BT) method. The proposed method stems from the conic positive real balanced truncation (CPRBT) method, which is a modification of the BT method for PR systems. CPRBT presents an algorithm in which the reduced models are obtained from some Riccati equations in which the phase angle of the transfer function has been taken into consideration. Although CPRBT is a powerful algorithm for obtaining accurate PR reduced-order models, it cannot guarantee that the phase diagram of the reduced model remains inside the same interval as that of the original full-order system. We aim to address such a problem by modifying CPRBT in the way that the phase angle of the reduced transfer function always remains inside the conic and homolographic phase interval of the original system. This is proven through some matrix manipulations, which has added mathematical value to the paper. Finally, in order to assess the efficacy of the proposed method, two numerical examples are simulated.
