Abstract

The push for energy efficiency of industry processes is driving various efforts to analyze, simulate and optimize the underlying complex and large cyber-physical systems. While some efforts use co-simulation, we instead focus on an integrated hybrid approach that offers the ability to model hybrid components as a whole with all their aspects, based on Hybrid PDEVS. We describe modeling techniques that were developed for this purpose, and demonstrate the feasibility of the approach with a prototypical example. The proposed approach allows describing hybrid models on component level with improved reusability.
