A New Method of Determining Instability of Linear System
International Journal on Communication, 2 (1): 5 (March 2011)
Abstract
In this paper, an algorithm is presented for
identification of real eigenvalues on right half of the s-plane,
for linear systems, hence determining instability of the system.
The proposed approach is based on Gerschgorin theorem and
a new approach of Bisection method. The method is efficient
since there is no need to determine all real eigenvalues and
also characteristic polynomial of the system matrix. It has been
found that in some class of control system problems, the method
needs minor computations. The proposed approach is useful,
particularly, in power system applications, where the order of
system is large. A power system problem and numerical
examples are illustrated using proposed algorithm.
