Coupled Models in Electromagnetic and Energy Conversion Systems from Smart Theories Paradigm to That of Complex Events: A Review

In this article, we evaluate the modeling of a real operation of a real system using the corresponding adequate theory. We show that the smart theories often used do not directly correspond to reality because these theories have been established in idealized frameworks. The need to adapt such frames to real landscape situations necessitates modifying the models used. This can be achieved by taking into account the different existing physical phenomena, which are normally overlooked in smart idealized models, in a revised coupled model. This contribution aims to analyze and illustrate the relationship between smart theories and coupled realistic models through a literature review. The strategy for constructing such models is discussed and highlighted. The understanding of this approach is illustrated by an application to the case of electromagnetic and energy conversion systems. In these systems, intelligent energy management, conversion and control involve the use of an accurate realistic coupled model in system design, optimization and control. It is a question of coupling and solving equations representing these systems by taking into account the real phenomena involved, which are electrical, magnetic, mechanical, thermal and material. The obvious advantage of using such realistic models in computer-aided design and optimization tools is illustrated. Moreover, the interest of using such models in the supervision of systems is assessed. These demonstrations are supported by a review of examples of work carried out in the field.
