Dynamic modelling is the main step of analysis, control and diagnosis of an industrial project. A mechatronic systems (where occur different energies : mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, thermal…) is subject to several issues : the model is nonlinear and hybrid (involving continuous and discrete phenomena), strong coupling with the environmental sub-systems and different energies...See more. Bond graph as unified approach is a powerful tool for dynamic modelling. Indeed four levels of modelling (technological, physical, mathematical and algorithmic) can be represented because of its functional, structural, behavioural and causal properties. Furthermore because of its graphical and causal aspect specific software’s have been developed for automatic generation of state equations and control and diagnosability analysis. This keynote presents a synthesis of twenty years of academic and industrial research developed by the author his collaborators. Following items will be developed : conventional, coupled and event-driven hybrid bond graph for dynamic modelling to be used for control and diagnosability analysis. The theory will be illustrated by a pedagogical example as a common thread and real applications for validation.less.

The objective of testing is to determine whether an implementation of a (software) system conforms to a given formal specification of the system. We consider more specifically the test of real-time discrete event systems (RTDES), i.e. systems whose behavior is defined, not only by the possible orders of their interactions with the environment, but also by the possible occurrence times of these interactions. ..See more. RTDES are encountered in various domains where the non-respect of timing constraints can have undesirable and even fatal consequences. These domains include, for example, telephone switching systems (e.g. to establish an urgent call), patient monitoring systems and air-traffic control systems. In order to develop rigorous real-time model-based testing (MBT) methods (i.e. MBT methods for RTDES), several formalisms have been developed to formally specify various known testing concepts in the real-time context, such as specification, test purpose and conformance relation. Those formalisms extend the formalisms used in the non-real-time case by introducing rigorous and formal representations of time and timing constraints.
This talk is addressed to students who are interested in starting research work on real-time model-based testing. We will consider in particular the following points:
-Formalisms used in real-time MBT
-Conformance relations in real-time MBT for RTDES
-Real-Time MBT approaches
-Real-time MBT for specific testing environments, such as distributed and embedded real-time systems
-Particular real-time testing objectives, such as stress testing, probabilistic testing, and passive testing

He teaches and conducts research in the areas of advanced control systems, Fault Tolerant Control and fault diagnosis applied to Renewal Energy, Automotive and Aerospace fields.less.
The latest developments about the monitoring, the diagnosis and the fault tolerant control of a wind farm are presented. A wireless sensor and actuator network is used for the supervisory control and data acquisition.As there is a large amount of information, big data processing frameworks are needed and different computing paradigms are investigated to store and process the information in real time, with reduces cost and added security. ..See more. The fault detection and identification must be done with fast and precise algorithms, to minimize the number of false alarms. Also, it must consider the great multitude of defects that can appear in a wind turbine, from internal component failures to outside influences. Fault tolerant control needs to consider not only the cases when a turbine fails completely, but also when some of them are not working properly, or when the environmental conditions, e.g. the wind, are not optimum. Perspectives on future developments, especially on how the different components can be integrated together, in the case of a wind farm, are given.less.

Wolfgang Borutzky is a Professor of Modelling and Simulation of Engineering Systems at Bonn Rhein-Sieg University, Germany. He also holds an honorary position as Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Dubrovnik, Croatia. ..See more.
His main research interests include modelling and simulation methodologies for multidisciplinary systems, in particular Bond Graph-based as well as object oriented modelling; modelling, analysis, control, fault diagnosis and failure prognosis of mechatronic systems; modelling languages; scientific computing, and numerical algorithms.
Dr. Borutzky has published extensively in the proceedings of many international conferences on Modelling and Simulation and in refereed scientific journals. He is the author of two Springer books on Bond Graph Modelling and the editor and co-author of two Springer compilation texts on bond graph related topics.
He was a visiting professor at universities in the Netherlands, the U.S.A., France, and in Argentina and has served as an invited external examiner and as a member of Ph.D. defense committees in various countries. Since 1990 he has served in many international scientific conferences on Modelling and Simulation in various capacities and has delivered a number of invited keynote addresses over the years. Moreover, he has given short courses in industry on bond graph modelling.less.
In the modelling of various engineering systems and physical phenomena such as power electronic systems, stick-slip effects and stops in mechanical motion it is convenient and common to neglect the small time interval in which fast transitions from one system mode to another take place and to use the abstraction that the change happens instantaneously because the small time interval is not of relevance for the overall system behaviour...See more. Hybrid system models incorporate this abstraction so that they covers the continuous time behaviour and discrete system mode changes.
Bond graphs as a mean especially suited for developing multidisciplinary dynamic system and process models were initially limited to represent continuous time models and have been mainly used for establishing systems of differential algebraic equations (DAEs) in order to simulate a system's dynamic behaviour. In the course of the past decades various approaches have been proposed to extend the bond graph methodology to hybrid system models. Besides the way a hybrid model is graphically represented, its numerical computation has also been a challenge. Due to the use of conceptual switching elements, parts of a model may be temporarily deactivated and the number of system states may change from system mode to system mode. Numerical mathematics has contributed DAE solvers with a root finding capability, some block oriented simulation software provides reset integrators, and sometimes a continuous time approximation of a discrete event is used and the problem is left to a solver for a set of stiff equations.
In the course of the past decades, the potential of bond graph modelling has also been increasingly used for supporting Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) as the basis for fault diagnosis and automatic process supervision.
The keynote, based on more than thirty years of the author’s research and experience in bond graph modelling, consideres various bond graph representations of hybrid models, discusses their implications with regard to numerical computation and shows, by accounting for latest research results, how bond graph modelling can serve robust fault diagnosis and failure prognosis based on hybrid system models. For illustration, some small examples from power electronics and other domains are presented.less.
