This presents a real struggle to the engineers who want to design and implement such systems with high performance, efficiency and reliability. For this purpose, engineers need a tool capable of modelling and/or simulating components of diverse nature within the ECDS. However, a majority of the available tools are limited in their capacity to describe the characteristics of such components sufficiently. To overcome this difficulty, this paper first proposes an improved methodology of modelling and simulation for ECDS. The approach is based on using domain-based simulators individually, namely electric and mechanic part simulators and also integrating them with a co-simulation. As for the modelling of the drive machine, a finely tuned dynamic model is developed by taking the saturation effect into account. In order to validate the developed model as well as the proposed methodology, an industrial ECDS is tested experimentally. Later, both the experimental and simulation results are compared to prove the accuracy of the developed model and the relevance of the proposed methodology.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessElectromechanical couplingelectric drive systemco-simulationdynamic modellinginduction machinesaturationdomain-based simulatorsArticleQ340720212043WOS:000367529400002
