EMR AND OTHER GRAPHICAL DESCRIPTIONS

Co-chair: Dr. Clément MAYET, Le CNAM-SATIE, France
Co-chair: Minh C. TA, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam

Call For Papers

One of the key issues in the development of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVS) is the control design of such complex systems, which are composed of multi-sources and multisubsystems. Model-based control design approaches provide an efficient mean to tackle the design challenges, such as reducing development time and handling growing design complexity. The general
steps in model-based control design process are: system modelling, control analysis and tuning, system and control simulation, emulation and experimental validation, and finally control deployment.

At the system modelling step, different graphical modelling formalism can be used, such as Bond Graph, Power Oriented Graph (POG), and Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR). These graphical formalisms highlight different properties of multi-physical systems. As an energy-based graphical tool,
EMR respects integral causality, highlights energy properties of the power components such as energy storage, energy conversion and distribution, and provides a global energetic view of systems. Due to these features, inversion based control can be deduced from EMR (http://www.emrwebsite.org/).

The aim of this special session is to present different graphical descriptions, including EMR, applied to HEVs or/and EVs to solve complex design and control problems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Graphical tools for modeling,
  • Graphical tools for control design,
  • Graphical toolbox or software for study and/or control of EVs or/and HEVs,
  • Graphical interface for simulation of EVs or/and HEVs,
  • Application of graphical tools for control/identification/emulation of EVs or/and HEVs.

 

Clément Mayet (IEEE M’2020) received the Master and Ph.D. degrees (with honors) from the University of Lille, France, in 2012 and 2016, respectively, both in Electrical Engineering. Then, he held a post-doctoral position at the University of Lille and the L2EP within MEGEVH (French network on Energy Management of Hybrid Electric Vehicles). From 2017 to 2018, he was senior researcher at the MOBI (Mobility, Logistics and Automotive Technology) research group at the Vrije Universiteit of Brussels (VUB), Belgium, where he was technical manager of two European Projects (ORCA and ASSURED) within the European H2020 Green Vehicles program. Since September 2018, he is associate professor at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (Le CNAM) de Paris and the SATIE Laboratory. He is also Associate Editor for IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine for Automotive Electronics applications. Presently, his main research interests include graphical descriptions (Energetic Macroscopic Representation), modelling, control, energy management, and hardware-in-the-loop simulation of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles (EVs and HEVs).

 

Minh C. Ta (IEEE M’1994, SM’2004) received the B.S. degree (with honors) in electrical engineering from the Institute of Technology (now the University of West Bohemia), Pilsen, Czech Republic, in 1986, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Laval University, Quebec, QC, Canada, in 1998.
He spent 6 years working in Japan (1998–2004), at Kyushu University, The University of Tokyo and at NSK Steering Systems Ltd. Co. He became Associate Professor at Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST), Vietnam in 2009, and has served as Founding Director of the Center for Technology Innovation (2009-2018), and Director of the Department of Industrial Automation (2018-2020). He has been appointed to several visiting professorship positions in Taiwan (2010), Australia (2012), France (2015, 2018, 2019), Germany (2017). His main research interests include Motor Drives and Advanced Control Techniques and their applications to Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Energy Conversion Systems.
Prof. Minh has actively involved in the IEEE-VPPC series since 2014, especially acted as General Chair of the IEEE-VPPC’2019, Oct. 2019 in Hanoi.
