Modeling and Simulation of Physical Systems Formed by Bond Graphs and Multibond Graphs

Abstract

Current physical systems are built in more that one coordinate: for example, electrical power systems, aeronautical systems and robotic systems can be modeled in multibond graphs (MBG). However, in these systems, some elements use only one axis or dimension—for example, actuators and controllers—which can be modeled in bond graphs (BG). Therefore, in this paper, modeling of systems in multibond graphs and bond graphs (MBG-BG) is presented. Likewise, the junction structure of systems represented by (MBG-BG) is introduced. From this structure, mathematical modeling in the state space is presented. Likewise, modeling of systems on a platform (MBG-BG) can be seen as symmetric to the mathematical model that represents these systems. Finally, a synchronous generator modeled by (MBG-BG) as a case study is developed, and simulation results using 20-Sim software are shown. Furthermore, an electrical power system connected to the power supply of a DC motor as another case study is explained.
