Simulation of electric drives using freeFOClib

For simulating electric drive systems the freeFOClib (short for ldquofree field-oriented control libraryrdquo) is being developed. This Modelica library can be seen as an extension to the modelica standard library (MSL). The library can be used to build a field-oriented control system for existing machine models from the modelica standard library, investigate the impact of electric faults (e.g., battery faults, inverter faults, machine faults) on a electric drive system, and run simulations to estimate the fuel consumption of hybrid electric vehicles. The paper will give some information of the content and structure of the library. Measurements from a drive test-bench are retrieved to verify the model parameters and the simulation results, especially the fault simulation results.
