Abstract
The modeling of three-phase electrical systems in the coordinates in a simple and direct way in a multibond graph approach is presented. From the graphical model obtained, a mathematical model in state space can be determined. Thus, studies of the electromagnetic transients of electrical systems can be analyzed. Likewise, this modeling in the physical domain can be applied to balanced or unbalanced systems and the storage elements (inductances and capacitances) can be connected to be linearly independent or dependent. Structural properties such as stability, controllability, observability or controller design can be analyzed in multibond graphs. The proposed methodology is applied to two examples and the simulation results are shown using 20-Sim software.
1. Introduction
The mathematical modeling of three-phase electrical systems to evaluate electromagnetic transients in the different equipment and devices that are part of these systems is determined by high-order, nonlinear and time-varying models and generally complicated systems.
The mathematical model for an electrical power system using field approaches was developed in [1]; here, the model of the transmission lines are obtained by partial differential equations and the equation of the supply to the transmission line uses two first-order differential equations. The real-time simulation of a transmission line with the objective of knowing the behavior of harmonic signals in line transients is presented in [2], and the dynamic domain is also applied to the transmission line, which allows the visualization of the steady state and the transient condition. Different configurations of power transmission lines are simulated in [3], however, here, a negative capacitance is added in parallel with the inductance in the equivalent circuit that allows one to improve the simulation of transmission lines. The study of the available transfer capability in a transmission system to know the transient stability is proposed in [4], performing network analysis with ultra-high-voltage lines. The stability control in long transmission lines can incorrectly operate the equipment, which is simulated and analyzed in [5]. A three-phase power transformer is modeled and simulated with a digital implementation in [6], and the transformer model is verified with experiments carried out on a 6 kVA transformer.
Recently, with the supply of electrical energy from renewable energy sources such as wind turbines and photovoltaic panels, electrical system modeling includes elements and equipment that these new electrical power generation systems require. In [7], the modeling and simulation of a photovoltaic power system is proposed that is connected to the network with a three-phase power of 8kW for at home purposes with a PQ controller. The modeling of a wind turbine for harmonic analysis with different switching techniques is proposed in [8] where doubly-fed induction generators are connected to the back-to-back power converter. The modeling and simulation of a photovoltaic system using Matlab with the aim of considering the irradiance and analyzing the power quality was found in [9]; in addition, the behavior of a three-phase system with different inverter control techniques is described when the PV system is generating energy. Likewise, the simulation of a distributed generation model with the use of multi-energy sources for three-phase stability studies was developed in [10], wherein a unified interface model for a synchronous generator and inverter that applies to different types of energy—electric, heat and hydrogen—was proposed.
The difficulty in the modeling, analysis and control of three-phase electrical systems has become one of the reasons for the use of various software such as in [9], wherein Matlab software is used. The application of the Multisim software in the simulation of three-phase electrical circuits was found in [11]. Furthermore, the study of electromagnetic transients in three-phase electrical systems for transmission and distribution models using the EMTP software was proposed in [12].
Other interesting references with the application of coordinate transformations applied to electrical systems are the following: the comparison of current regulators in three-phase electrical systems in the reference frames: (1) natural , (2) orthogonal stationary and (3) orthogonal stationary were presented in [13]. A new reference frame, called a reduced reference frame, which can be used for unbalanced three-phase systems, was proposed in [14]. The properties of three transients with unbalanced sources were investigated in [15], where the Clarke and Park transformations are used. The energy management architecture model using a complete supervisory control and data acquisition system in a educational building was presented in [16]. An energy management system applied to isolated micro grids was proposed in [17], wherein they apply a PID controller which contains coordinate transformations from to .
When considering a renewable power system and its control, full modeling can be challenging because the system will have different energy domains. For example, if the system is the interconnection of thermoelectric, hydroelectric, wind turbines and photovoltaic panels as sources of generation, their transmission and distribution to electrical loads, then there are electrical, mechanical, thermal and hydraulic subsystems, subsystems for control as well as three-phase systems, due to which factors the bond graph is a system modeling methodology that can be applied to the systems formed by different energy domains. Likewise, the analysis and control of systems in the bond graph are direct and physically achievable. In addition, the modeling of systems with multiple phases or axes has been solved with multibond graphs which are vector bond graphs.
The bond graph theory is based on an approach to modeling power transfer through ports called bonds. In this way, a structured approach to modeling dynamic systems is presented in the bond graph.
The main characteristics of the bond graph can be stated below: (1) The bond graph allows the modeling of systems formed by different energy domains (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, thermal, magnetic); (2) Through the causal information, the relationship between the elements of a system is known, determining mathematical models in transfer function or in state space, likewise, structural properties such as stability, controllability and observability can be directly obtained in the bond graph model without requiring its mathematical model; (3) Linear and nonlinear, invariant and time-varying systems with lumped distributed parameters can be modeled in a bond graph; and (4) Controllers can be designed in a bond graph environment.
The modeling of robots, cars, projectiles or multi-axis systems often leads to complicated mathematical models. Even in bond graphs, these systems can result in models that cannot easily apply the methodology and its applications in the physical domain. Thus, the introduction of multibond graphs as an extension of bond graphs turns out to be a natural way to model multibody systems.
In modeling with multibond graphs, single bonds are grouped into multibonds. Likewise, the generalized power variables of effort and flow in bond graphs are now vectors of effort and flow in multibond graphs whose matrix product determines power.
Some papers on fundamentals and application with multibond graphs have been published, some of which are cited below: the basic concepts in the modeling with multibond graphs of physical systems are proposed in [18]. The causality assignment in vector bond graphs is introduced in [19]. The modeling of mechanical systems with multibond graphs was developed in [20]. The decomposition of multibody elements such as resistors, inertias, capacitors, transformers and gyrators into their equivalent in junctions, bonds and 1-port and 2-port elements was presented in [21].
Recently, some developments with multibond graphs have been published, and the representation of electrical circuits of phasors containing real and imaginary parts with two-dimensional multibond and steady state was proposed in [22]. The linearization of a class of nonlinear systems that can be modeled with multibond graphs was presented in [23]. The direct determination of the steady-state response for LTI systems modeled with multibond graphs with a derivative causality assignment to the storage elements was proposed in [24].
In this paper, the modeling of three-phase electrical systems in coordinates is presented. The modeling of an electrical system in coordinates determines the systems of time-varying differential equations, and by applying Park’s transformation, an equivalent time-invariant system is obtained. In the analysis of electromagnetic transients to electrical systems in the coordinates , the differential equations are determined with inductive and capacitive elements as well as the connectivity with the different elements, whilst ascertaining whether the three phases are balanced is difficult and complicated.
Electrical system simulation software allows graphic results to be obtained, but the structural mathematical analysis of the system is generally not its objective. Thus, this paper enables the modeling of model-balanced or -unbalanced three-phase electrical systems in the multibond graphs environment.
Bond graph tools can be applied in multibond graphs. In particular, a lemma to directly obtain the multibond graph in the coordinates is proposed and from this, other lemma to determine the mathematical model in state space is presented. Therefore, the advantages of this paper with respect to traditional developments were exposed.
The works developed in bond graphs [25,26,27] that mainly use the Park transformation for the modeling of electrical machines are bond graphs built from the mathematical model in the state space of the system and it is effectively verified that the bond graph is correct. However, general methodologies similar to this proposed paper are not reported. In multibond graphs, practically no papers have been published on the modeling of three-phase electrical systems, and as such, this paper is an interesting proposal on the modeling of three-phase electrical systems in coordinates and its transformation in coordinates .
Therefore, the primary advantages of this paper are the modeling of three-phase electrical systems in coordinates in a direct way, directly obtaining its symbolic representation in state space and its derivation of the model in coordinates .
Section 2 describes the traditional modeling of a power system from coordinates to coordinates . The essential elements in modeling systems with multibond graphs are developed in Section 3. In this section, the junction structure and state space of a system modeled in multibond graphs are presented. In Section 4, a lemma and procedure for directly obtaining the multibond graph of an electrical system are proposed. Two examples applying the described methodology are solved, including the simulation results. In Section 6, describes the aplication of the metodology. Finally, Section 7 gives the conclusions.
2. Problem Statement
Most commercial electrical power is generated in three-phase systems [28,29]. Consider a simple three-phase circuit formed by two generators and a line transmission which is shown in Figure 1 [30].
Figure 1.
Three-phase electrical circuit.
With the objective of obtaining the dynamic equations of the system for the analysis of electromagnetic transients, then applying the voltages law to the circuit of Figure 1 gives
where and denote the three-phase voltages of supply sources 1 and 2, respectively; and denote the three-phase voltages across the resistors , and respectively; and denote the three-phase voltages across the inductances , and respectively; and denotes the three-phase voltages across the capacitances and , respectively.
The relationships between the resistors and inductors are
where and are the voltages in each phase of supply sources 1 and 2, respectively; and are the voltages in each phase of capacitors 1 and 2, respectively.
where and are the voltages and currents in each phase of resistor 1, respectively; and are the voltages and currents in each phase of inductance 1, respectively; is the resistance matrix 1 of the three phases , and are the resistors 1 in each phase , respectively, and is the inductance matrix 1 of the three phases , and denote the inductance 1 in each phase , respectively.
In the same form, it is established that
where and denote the three-phase voltages and currents in , respectively; and denote the three-phase voltages and currents in , respectively; and and denote the three-phase voltages in and , respectively. and are the resistance matrices of e and 2 of the three phases , respectively, and and are the inductance matrices of e and 2 of the three phases , respectively.
The relationships for the capacitors are
where and are the three-phase currents and voltages in , respectively; and are the three-phase currents and voltages in , respectively, and are the capacitance matrices 1 and 2 of the three phases respectively, and , and are the capacitors 1 in each phase
By substituting from (4) and (9) into (1), (2) and (3)
in addition, and , and the equations for the capacitors are
From (12) to (16) represent a fifteenth-order dynamic system for a simple three-phase circuit. However, and are three-phase voltage sources, these sources are typically balanced and given by
where is the maximum value of v and w is the angular frequency such that being f the frequency in .
Hence, considering (17) with (12) to (16), the dynamic system is a linear time-varying (LTV) system of 15 dimensions.
A great simplification in the mathematical description of a three-phase electrical system is obtained from Park’s transformation. The effect of Park’s transformation is simply to transform all stator quantities from phases a, b and c into new variables, the frame of reference of which moves with the rotor [28,29,31]. Electrical systems that have three-phase voltages and currents are complicated to model, analyze and control to determine time-varying systems, so the Park transformation has been applied, which allows obtaining equivalent systems without dependence on time.
In order to remove the time dependence, Park’s transformation can be used. This transformation for voltages is defined by
where
the angle between the d axis and the rotor is given by
where w is the rated angular frequency in .
Park’s transformations for currents and flux linkages are expressed by
Now, representing (12), (13) and (14) by Park’s transformation,
and from (15) and (16), the equations for the capacitors are
in terms of
where
under balanced conditions
it is well known that is given by
substituting (38) into (27), (28) and (29)
a ninth-order LTI dynamic system for the inductances is obtained.
3. Modeling in Multibond Graphs
In the connection of two elements, components or systems, there is always a power transfer . This power in generalized terms described in bond graph modeling is defined as the product of effort and flow . Likewise, the power link is represented by a power bond that is illustrated in Figure 2 [32].
Figure 2.
Power bond.
Bond graph modeling can be applied to systems of different energy domains, that is, to electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and thermodynamic systems. The generalized variables for these different systems are indicated in Table 1.
Table 1.
Power variables.
In bond graph modeling, two additional variables are required to characterize a system, in which variables are called energy variables which are momentum and displacement . The time integral of an effort defines a momentum: and the displacement is the time integral of a flow: .
One of the fundamental properties in bond graph models is the causality that is applied to each of the elements that constitute part of a model. With the application of the causal stroke, each bond accurately indicates the input and output signals, as illustrated in Figure 3, which is a power bond with its causality [32].
Figure 3.
Causal bond.
According to the type of element, it has a given causality, as shown in Table 2.
Table 2.
Causal forms for 1-ports.
Many systems can generally be modeled as multiport power elements. For example, mechatronic systems that are constructed of mechanical, electrical and hydraulic subsystems but in turn have movements in three axes ; electrical power systems can be represented as systems with multiport phases , likewise, hydraulic and thermal systems with a multiport can be modeled. Therefore, systems modeled with bond graphs can be represented with multibond graph models with the advantages of structural modeling, analysis and control that determine bond graphs which are generalized and extended with multibond graphs [18,20].
Firstly, the notation of the variables generalized with multibond graphs are efforts and flows with an underscore indicating that these variables determine vector bond notation, which is a composition of three bonds corresponding to the three perpendicular axes in a multibond graph. Figure 4 shows a multibond and its equivalent in bonds [18,20].
Figure 4.
Bonds: (a) Single bond; and (b) Multibonds.
Modeling with multibond graphs is common for the application to vectors with three elements for physical systems, but this does not limit the fact that it can be extended to higher-order vectors [18]. The power in a multibond is defined by
where is the transpose of the column vector
and
A general multibond graph indicating the generalized variables in each multibond and the junctions or multiport elements is shown in Figure 5 [18].
Figure 5.
Multibond graph with efforts and flows.
The essential elements in modeling with multibond graphs are described in Appendix A.
The link of the different elements that are part of a system can be organized into fields as illustrated in Figure 6. Considering a model in a multibond graph with a predefined integral causality assignment, its fields and the key vectors. Figure 6 presents the causal relationships between these elements that describe the system.
Figure 6.
Junction structure and key vectors of a multibond graph.
The different multiport fields in a multibond graph that are shown in Figure 6 determine:
- System input is the power supply through the source multiport field denoted by .
- The power exchange due to the connection in multiport junctions or or in multiport transformers are carried out in the multiport junction structure.
- Storage elements and determine the energy storage multiport field denoted by that they are associated with the energy variables and , variables which derive in the following state variables:
- -
- When the storage elements have integral causality, they determine the linearly independent state variables with the co-energy vector .
- -
- When the storage elements have derivative causality, they determine the linearly dependent state variables with the co-energy vector .
- The key vectors and establish the relation between the energy dissipation multiport field denoted by and the multiport junction structure through the mixture of power variables and .
- are the system outputs that are obtained from the multiport junction structure to the detectors and are denoted by .
The mathematical model of a system based on a multibond graph is determined following Lemma 1.
Lemma 1.

Note that the multibond graph model permits the representation of systems with integral and derivative causality assignments.
In the next section, a procedure to represent electrical power systems in a multibond graph approach is proposed.

7. Conclusions
Multibond graph models of three-phase electrical systems in coordinates have been presented. Due to the flexibility of multibond graph modeling, the determination of the signals in coordinates can be obtained using multiport transformers modulated with the Park transformation matrix. Starting from an electrical system, the multibond graph associated with this system in coordinates using a proposed lemma is obtained. Likewise, the determination of the mathematical model in state space by means of a multibond graph has been proposed. The state equation is expressed in a compact form according to the key vectors in the multibond graph, which allows one to visualize future works in the analysis of three-phase systems in symbolic form and not only through simulations. Therefore, the electromagnetic transients of three-phase electrical systems can be analyzed. Two illustrative examples are modeled and simulated in the multibond graph environment to show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. A modeled and simulated example is for balanced and unbalanced conditions, which allows one to show the flexibility of the proposal. Furthermore, well-developed methodologies in the analysis and synthesis of bond graph models can be extended to multibond graph models and applied to electrical power systems. Finally, this paper can be the basis for modeling closed-loop electrical systems, which in many cases, involves the Park transformation with the application of power electronics.
