We address the problem of model order reduction (MOR) of parametrized dynamical systems. Motivated by reduced basis (RB) methods for partial differential equations, we show that some characteristic components can be transferred to model reduction of parametrized linear dynamical systems. We assume an affine parameter dependence of the system components, which allows an offline/online decomposition and is the basis for efficient reduced simulation. Additionally, error control is possible by a posteriori error estimators for the state vector and output vector, based on residual analysis and primal-dual techniques. Experiments demonstrate the applicability of the reduced parametrized systems, the reliability of the error estimators and the runtime gain by the reduction technique. The a posteriori error estimation technique can straightforwardly be applied to all traditional projection-based reduction techniques of non-parametric and parametric linear systems, such as model reduction, balanced truncation, moment matching, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and so on.
