Abstract

A comparative study of passivity based boundary control design for a class of infinite dimensional port-Hamiltonian system using two different model reduction approaches is presented. The first approach is based on a direct low order structure preserving discretization while the second approach arise from the structure preserving model reduction of a high order discretzed model. Two passivity-based control techniques, namely control by interconnection and damping injection, are used to change the equilibrium point and the convergence rate of the closed-loop system. An Euler-Bernoulli beam example is used to illustrate the findings by means of discussion and numerical simulations. Copyright (C) 2022 The Authors.
