Real-time control of a physical system necessitates controllers that are low order. In this article, we compare two balanced truncation methods as a means of designing low-order controllers for a nonlinear cable-mass system. The first is the standard technique of balanced truncation. The second, linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) balanced truncation, can be thought of as balancing based on the controller, and states that are important from the perspective of control and filter design are retained. The control design applied to each reduced-order model is the central controller.. We provide an overview of the central controller and devote attention to the design of this controller in the presence of balancing. Also described in this article is a method for reducing computational time in solving algebraic Riccati equations for the design of low-order LQG balanced controllers.
