functiontoBalancedForm

Information

Syntax

ssBalanced = StateSpace.Transformation.toBalancedForm(ss);

Description

Balancing a linear dynamic system in state space form ss means to find a state transformation x_new = T*x = diagonal(scale)*x so that the transformed system is better suited for numerical algorithms. In more detail:

This function performs a similarity transformation with T=diagonal(scale) such that S_scale

             |inv(T)*ss.A*T, inv(T)*ss.B|
   S_scale = |                          |
             |       ss.C*T,     0      |

has a better condition as system matrix S

       |ss.A, ss.B|
   S = |          |
       |ss.C, 0   |

Example

import Modelica.Math.Matrices.norm;
ss = Modelica_LinearSystems2.StateSpace(A=[1, -10,  1000; 0.01,  0,  10; 0.005,  -0.01,  10],
                                        B=[100, 10; 1,0; -0.003, 1],
                                        C=[-0.5, 1, 100],
                                        D=[0,0]);
sb = Modelica_LinearSystems2.StateSpace.Transformation.toBalancedForm(ss);

-> Results in:
norm(ss.A) = 1000.15, norm(ss.B) = 100.504, norm(ss.C) = 100.006
norm(sb.A) = 10.8738, norm(sb.B) = 16.0136, norm(sb.C) = 10.2011

The algorithm is taken from

H. D. Joos, G. Grübel:

RASP'91 Regulator Analysis and Synthesis Programs
DLR - Control Systems Group 1991

which is based on the balance function from EISPACK.
