Vector Fitting.

TL;DR: The Vector Fitting algorithm for the creation of reduced-order models from the sampled response of a linear time-invariant system is introduced and how the reduced model can be made stable and converted to a variety of forms for use in virtually any modeling context is discussed.
Abstract: We introduce the Vector Fitting algorithm for the creation of reduced-order models from the sampled response of a linear time-invariant system. This data-driven approach to reduction is particularly useful when the system under modeling is known only through experimental measurements. The theory behind Vector Fitting is presented for single- and multiple-input systems, together with numerical details, pseudocodes, and an open-source implementation. We discuss how the reduced model can be made stable and converted to a variety of forms for use in virtually any modeling context. Finally, we survey recent extensions of the Vector Fitting algorithm geared towards time-domain, parametric and distributed systems modeling.

TL;DR: An alternative solution procedure is proposed, the complexity of which is 2.7 times smaller than the conventional approach in terms of floating-point operations (FLOPs) and presents a considerable saving for large-scale problems.
Abstract: Vector fitting (VF) is a robust macromodeling method to construct rational models of a network based on tabulated frequency responses. When fitting a network with a large number of ports, the matrix equation in VF quickly grows into a formidable size. The conventional strategy is to break the equation into several small QR factorizations and then combine the results into a least-squares (LS) problem. In this letter, an alternative solution procedure is proposed, the complexity of which is 2.7 times smaller than the conventional approach in terms of floating-point operations (FLOPs). Test cases of 40–200-port data show that the actual computing time can be reduced by as much as 85%, which presents a considerable saving for large-scale problems.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a data-driven approach to estimate the global momentum of an electric power system using a grid-forming converter-interfaced generator and the speed of its virtual rotor.
Abstract: This work presents a technique to estimate on-line the global momentum of an electric power system. It exploits the footprint of the principal frequency system dynamics. Probing tones are injected by a grid-forming converter-interfaced generator and the speed of its virtual rotor is exploited to extrapolate the footprint. The proposed technique is entirely data driven and thus it does not need any model of the power system. We show that the proposed technique is adequate to accurately estimate the actual global momentum contributed by synchronous machines and provided by the controllers of converter-interfaced generators that emulate the behavior of synchronous machines. The technique is comprehensively tested on a modified version of the IEEE 39-BUS system and a dynamic version of the IEEE 118-BUS system, containing grid forming converter interfaced generators.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed an optimal readout scheme by using optimal filters to combine the sensor outputs to improve the low-frequency performance of advanced gravitational-wave detectors, which is limited by the seismic noise and the associated control noise.
Abstract: The low-frequency performance of advanced gravitational-wave detectors is limited by the seismic noise and the associated control noise. A six-degree-of-freedom seismometer has been proposed in (Mow-Lowry and Martynov 2019 Class. Quantum Grav. 36 245006) to improve the active isolation system. The standard readout scheme, which directly inverts the sensing matrix, gives dynamically independent but not statistically independent estimators for different degrees of freedom. This paper studies the optimal readout scheme by using optimal filters to combine the sensor outputs. The improvement is ultimately limited by the sensor noise and the ground motion, which decreases the correlation. For the real-time implementation, we have considered fitting the optimal filters numerically under the passive and causal constraint.

TL;DR: This paper reviewed the history of the relationship between robust control and optimal control and H-infinity theory and concluded that robust control has become thoroughly mainstream, and robust control methods permeate robust control theory.
Abstract: This paper will very briefly review the history of the relationship between modern optimal control and robust control. The latter is commonly viewed as having arisen in reaction to certain perceived inadequacies of the former. More recently, the distinction has effectively disappeared. Once-controversial notions of robust control have become thoroughly mainstream, and optimal control methods permeate robust control theory. This has been especially true in H-infinity theory, the primary focus of this paper.

TL;DR: The paper describes a general methodology for the fitting of measured or calculated frequency domain responses with rational function approximations by replacing a set of starting poles with an improved set of poles via a scaling procedure.
Abstract: The paper describes a general methodology for the fitting of measured or calculated frequency domain responses with rational function approximations. This is achieved by replacing a set of starting poles with an improved set of poles via a scaling procedure. A previous paper (Gustavsen et al., 1997) described the application of the method to smooth functions using real starting poles. This paper extends the method to functions with a high number of resonance peaks by allowing complex starting poles. Fundamental properties of the method are discussed and details of its practical implementation are described. The method is demonstrated to be very suitable for fitting network equivalents and transformer responses. The computer code is in the public domain, available from the first author.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of evaluation of the polynomial coefficients is presented based on the minimization of the weighted sum of the squares of the errors between the absolute magnitudes of the actual function and the Polynomial ratio, taken at various values of frequency (the independent variable).
Abstract: The mathematical analysis of linear dynamic systems, based on experimental test results, often requires that the frequency response of the system be fitted by an algebraic expression. The form in which this expression is usually desired is that of a ratio of two frequency-dependent polynomials. In this paper, a method of evaluation of the polynomial coefficients is presented. It is based on the minimization of the weighted sum of the squares of the errors between the absolute magnitudes of the actual function and the polynomial ratio, taken at various values of frequency (the independent variable). The problem of the evaluation of the unknown coefficients is reduced to that of the numerical solution of certain determinants. The elements of these determinants are functions of the amplitude ratio and phase shift, taken at various values of frequency. This form of solution is particularly adaptable to digital computing methods, be-because of the simplicity in the required programming. The treatment is restricted to systems which have no poles on the imaginary axis; i.e., to systems having a finite, steady-state (zero frequency) magnitude.
