Are there any examples in Julia how to model and control port-Hamiltonian systems?  
See: [https://www.math.rug.nl/arjan/DownloadLectures/Benelux08.pdf](https://www.math.rug.nl/arjan/DownloadLectures/Benelux08.pdf)

Can it be done with ModelingToolkit, or are there better ways?

It can be done with ModelingToolkit, and there could be good tooling around it, but I just haven’t done much with Port-Hamiltonians myself and so we don’t have any examples around it. It would be a nice GSoC project though.

Great! Thanks a lot!
