Hybrid petri nets as a new formalism for modeling electrical drives

The purpose of this paper is to present the Hybrid Petri Nets formalism, as a description for a class of hybrid dynamics systems, with several applications, explanations and comments concerning some hybrid models of d.c. electrical drives. Starting from a generic mathematical model and using the Visual Object Net ++ software tool, several simulation scenarios was proposed, in order to verifying the Petri Nets structures achieved. The simulation results can be used for building a modular hierarchical structure of the models.
