Title: Modelling of hybrid systems based on extended coloured Petri nets
Abstract: In this paper the modelling of hybrid systems, which are composed of both discrete event subsystems and continuous subsystems, is addressed. A general system structure for the hybrid system modelling is proposed along with their formulations. Based on these concepts, an extended coloured Petri net (ECPN) is proposed in order to implement the hybrid system modelling. Key ideas introduced in extended coloured Petri nets are dynamic colours, dynamic transitions, and dynamic places, which make ECPNs capable to model both variables governed by continuous dynamics and the ordinary Petri net tokens for discrete events. Thus, two aspects of hybrid system, continuous variables and discrete events, are unified in ECPNs by the number of tokens and the value of the tokens (defined as the colour state in this paper). A formal definition of ECPNs is also given. Finally, an illustrative example is given which shows how to use the developed approach for hybrid system modelling.
