Abstract
In this paper, the authors propose a novel model order reduction method integrating evolutionary and conventional approaches for higher-order linear time-invariant single-input–single-output (SISO) and multi-input–multi-output (MIMO) dynamic systems. The proposed method makes use of a differential evolution algorithm with enhanced mutation operation for the determination of reduced order model (ROM) denominator polynomial coefficients. In addition, an improved multi-point Pade approximation method is used to determine the optimal ROM numerator polynomial coefficients. The optimum property of the ROM is measured by minimising the integral square of the step response error between the original high-order dynamic system and the ROM. In the case of the MIMO system reduction approach, an optimal ROM transfer function matrix is determined by minimising a single objective function. This objective function is defined by a linear scalarising of the multi-step error function matrix components $$ \left( {E_{ij} } \right) $$. The proposed method guarantees the preservation of the stability, passivity and accuracy of the original higher-order system in the ROM. The proposed method is validated by applying it to a ninth-order SISO system, as well as to the tenth- and sixth-order linearised single-machine infinite-bus power system model with and without an automatic excitation control system. The simulation results and the comparison of the integral square error and impulse response energy values of the ROM demonstrate the dominance of the proposed method over the latest reduction methods available in the literature.
