Graphical formalism Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR)

EMR has been introduced in 2000 for research development in complex electromechanical drives. EMR has been extended to any energy conversion systems in 2010. EMR pictograms are developed in various sofwares to facilitate its usage (MATLAB-Simulink, AMESIM, PSIM, TYPHOON HiL, etc.).

Summer schools are regularly organized to show the help provided by EMR for the control development of complex systems in all physical domains, particularly in the field of electrified systems (electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, trains, etc.). These summer schools started since 2006 in Lille (France, 2006), then, Harbin (China, 2008), Trois-Rivières (Canada, 2009), Lausanne (Switzerland, 2011), Madrid (Spain, 2012), Lille (France, 2013), Coimbra (Portugal, 2014), Lille (France, 2015), Montréal (Canada, 2016), Lille (France, 2017), Hanoi (Vietnam, 2018) and Lille (France 2019). The edition 2020 (Oviedo, Spain) has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 crisis. Then EMR came back to a regular organisation Lille (France, 2021), Sion (Switzerland, 2022) and Lille (France, 2023). The next edition will be in 2024 in Delhi (India). These Summer School are dedicated to Master and PhD students, engineers and scientists, from both academia and industry, which have to model and control new multi-physical systems such as industrial multi-drive systems, traction and propulsion systems, hybrid electric vehicles, or renewable energy generation systems.
