To solve a stochastic linear evolution equation numerically, finite dimensional approximations are commonly used. If one uses the well-known Galerkin scheme, one might end up with a sequence of ordinary stochastic linear equations of high order. To reduce the high dimension for practical computations we consider balanced truncation as a model order reduction technique. This approach is well-known from deterministic control theory and successfully employed in practice for decades. So, we generalize balanced truncation for controlled linear systems with Levy noise, discuss properties of the reduced order model, provide an error bound, and give some examples.
