A bond graph model in an integral causality assignment (BGI) for a singularly perturbed linear time-varying (LTV) system is proposed. The LTV constitutive relations of the elements and MTF and MGY elements modulated by LTV functions of the BGI are considered. A new bond graph called singularly perturbed varying bond graph (SPVBG) for determining the quasi-steady-state model is presented. This SPVBG has the property that the storage elements for the slow and fast dynamics have an integral and derivative causality assignment, respectively. In order to apply the proposed methodology, a case study of an electromechanical system is modelled by bond graphs and approximated models are obtained. Finally, simulation results for the exact and approximated solutions are shown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
