Integral manifold as a tool for reduced-order modeling of nonlinear systems: A synchronous machine case study

A discussion is presented of the use of integral manifolds as a tool for reduced-order modeling in nonlinear systems. It specifically addresses its application to synchronous machine modeling. Not only does the integral manifold approach contribute to the understanding of the origin and validity of reduced-order models, but it also produces a systematic reduction procedure. While illustrated on a synchronous machine case study, the method has broad applications in a wide class of nonlinear dynamic systems.<>
