Abstract:
This paper describes the modeling and simulation of a fast 4-way switching valve by using
an energetic approach technique called Power Oriented Graph. The presented model is simple,
characterized by a reasonable number of parameters and suitable for the control system design.
The estimation of the system parameters has been obtained by using experimental data and
optimization algorithms in a Matlab co-simulation environment. A good matching between the
experimental and simulated data has been obtained. This matching shows that the considered
simple model predicts correctly the time response of the 4-way switching valve.
