Hankel-Norm Approximation Method Applied for High Order Model Reduction to Robust Contriller Synthesis

Abstract

In this paper, is presented an application of the Hankel–norm approximation method for model order reduction, to obtain a lower order model with the same performance. In order to show the effectiveness of the Hankel-methodologie an illustrative example is considered. Based on the background theory, the algorithm was applied on a real-life plant consist of a waste heat recovery for thermal water supply. The final aim of this study is a possible synthesis of a robust controller for the (uncertain) industrial-heat recovery processes.
