ABSTRACT
A steam-driven electrical power generating station was designed with the aid of a hybrid computer simulation. In the process, it was advantageous to reduce the order of the system of nonlinear equations describing the boilers and turbines. Since there is no general procedure for reducing the order of nonlinear systems, each case must be treated individually. However, the methods used in one system are sometimes applicable to others. The approach taken in the above reduction is presented with this in mind.

Direct Nonlinear Order Reduction with Variational Analysis
DATE '04: Proceedings of the conference on Design, automation and test in Europe - Volume 2The variational analysis [11] has been employed in [7] for order reduction of weakly nonlinear systems. For a relatively strong nonlinear system, this method will mostly lose efficiency because of the exponentially increased number of inputs in higher ...
Nonlinear integral sliding mode control for a second order nonlinear system
A nonlinear integral sliding-mode control (NISMC) scheme is proposed for second order nonlinear systems. The new control scheme is characterized by a nonlinear integral sliding manifold which inherits the desired properties of the integral sliding ...
Discrete system order reduction using multipoint step response matching
The proposed method of linear time invariant discrete system order reduction is based on multipoint step response matching for both pole and zero evaluation of the low order model. Depending on the number of zeros and poles of the low order model, the ...
