Modeling and Simulation of Electrical Machine Systems Through Bond Graphs and the Complementarity Framework

The conjunction of the complementarity framework and bond graphs is presented as an appropriate technique for the modeling of electric machine drives. The proposed approach uses complete models of switched systems. It also allows the modeling of several parts of a drive of electrical machines and related systems. With the presented method, different configurations of drives can be represented and studied. A high interconnection capacity is also shown as an attractive feature.
