Simulation of Electrical System using Bond Graphs and MATLAB/Simulink

AbstractThe work shows the use of Bond Graph formalism for modeling dynamic systems. As an example a electrical model is solved by this approach at the level of its physical behavior. In contrast with the classical method, where the equations for individual components are created first and then the simulation scheme is derived on their basis, the described method uses the reverse procedure. In this paper the method of generation of system equations is discussed. From a bond graph diagram of the system, using a step-by-step procedure, system equations may be generated. As a starting point a model of a simple electrical RLC circuit consisting of a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor is taken. The differential equations describing the dynamics of the system are obtained in terms of the states of the system
