Model Order Reduction for Linear Time-Invariant System With Symmetric Positive-Definite Matrices: Synthesis of Cauer-Equivalent Circuit
Shingo Hiruma, Hajime Igarashi
Abstract
This article introduces a new model order reduction method for a linear time-invariant system with symmetric positive-definite matrices. The proposed method allows the construction of a reduced model, represented by a Cauer-equivalent circuit, from the original system. The method is developed by extending the Cauer ladder network method for the quasi-static Maxwell's equations, which is shown to be regarded as the Lanczos algorithm with respect to a self-adjoint matrix. As a numerical example, a Cauer-equivalent circuit is generated from a simple mathematical model as well as the finite-element (FE) model of a magnetic reactor that is driven by a pulsewidth modulation voltage wave. The instantaneous power obtained from the circuit analysis is shown to be in good agreement with that obtained from the original FE model.
