Hybrid flow nets for hybrid process modelling and control

We consider a new methodology for modelling and control of a class hybrid systems. This method is based on Petri nets and continuous flow nets, which can be seen as a continuous nonlinear extension of Petri nets. Hybrid behaviour is represented by the interaction of this two kinds of nets, with a cross validation of the transition of one net to the other, and vice versa. This hybrid flow net can be used for simulation, as well as for control law design. In our current research, we have obtained some results about structural analysis and stability
