Résumé

This paper focuses on the modelling and control of an electromagnetic suspension using the bond graph tool. This technique combines graphical and relational aspects to establish connections between bond graph elements, particularly in deducing junction relationships and employing bicausal inversion for trajectory tracking controller design. To determine the controller parameters, we utilized a meta-heuristic method called Firefly for optimization, thus avoiding the need for trial and error. The simulation was conducted using 20-Sim software and a Matlab/Simulink script, which yielded improved results. This paper presents an initial contribution that demonstrates the integration of meta-heuristic optimization and the bond graph tool for parameter selection in 20-sim simulation software.
