In this paper, we use the switched linear differential systems framework [8] to model electrical devices with switching dynamics. Modularity, i.e. independent modelling and incremental combination of complex dynamics, is an important feature of this approach, since we can incorporate new dynamic modes to the bank without altering the existing ones. This makes our approach ideal for describing complex systems (e.g. energy distribution networks). Our modelling approach differs fundamentally from the traditional representation-based theory where the use of a global state space is required.
