EMR @ TalTech, 2025
EMR training @ TalTech, 14-16 Mai 2025
Objective and organization
This three-day workshop was focused on the Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR) methodology for modelling and controlling complex electromechanical and energy conversion systems. This training session was organized by the Estonian doctoral school, co-funded by the European Union.
This EMR training has attracted 31 attendees in total, mainly PhD Students. Linkedin note.

Presentation
EMR is a graphical formalism introduced in 2000 to describe complex electromechanical systems. It has since been extended to complex multi-physical systems (thermal science, electrochemistry, fluid mechanics, etc.). EMR is based on the action-reaction principle to organize the interconnection of models of subsystems according to the physical causality (i.e., integral causality). This description highlights the energetic properties of the system (energy accumulation, conversion, and distribution). Moreover, an inversion-based control can be systematically deduced from EMR using specific inversion rules.
Compared with other graphical descriptions, such as Bond Graphs or Causal Ordering Graphs (COG), EMR has a more global energetic view and contributes to the system’s control design. It differs from structural description tools such as Physic Modelling Language (PML), which uses object-oriented modelling language, which makes its libraries coupled like physical units. EMR focuses on the system function and not only the system structure. EMR gives insights into the real energy operation of systems and allows a deep understanding of its potentialities from a dynamic point of view.
