            Abstract : 
The availability of fast interactive digital simulation to test the accuracy of low-order models has greatly increased the viability of trying simple truncation methods of model order reduction. The truncation technique is successfully applied in reducing a tenth-order analytical model of an electrode position controller to third-order.
