Passivity Preserving Multipoint Model Order Reduction using Reflective Exploration

Abstract

Abstract:Reduced state-space models obtained by model order reduction methods must be accurate over the whole frequency range of interest and must also preserve passivity. In this paper, we propose multipoint reduction technique using reflective exploration for adaptively choosing the expansion points. The projection matrices obtained from the expansion points are merged to form the overall projection matrix. In order to obtain a more compact model the projection matrix is truncated based on its singular values. Finally, the reduced order model is obtained, while ensuring that the passivity of the reduced system is preserved during the reduction process.
