Block sets and Solvers
Electrical Drive and Power Electronic Models
eDRIVEsim™ includes a rich model library that lets you design detailed and accurate models for all components forming the electrical drive and power electronic systems. It includes detailed block components for electrical, mechanical, magnetic and control devices such as motors, voltage source converter, transformer, lines and cables, AC feeder and much more. eDRIVEsim™ also provides a complete set of real-time solvers optimized for real-time simulation, allowing you to accelerate simulation but also to simulate complex transient and fault conditions that are difficult or impractical to achieve with a real system.
Motor Models with High Simulation Accuracy for all Applications
eDRIVEsim™ supports the complete librairies of motor models included in SimPowerSystems, developed and tested by Hydro-Quebec Research Institute. It includes a wide range of alternating and direct current motor models used in all type of drives (DC, direct DC, single phase AC, poly-phase AC, PWM and variable frequency AC) required in automotive, aerospace, industrial and military applications.
Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), brushless DC (BLDC) and induction DQ motor models are typical examples that could be easily parameterized and tightly integrated into your simulation. Maximum accuracy is achieved by executing the simulation with a time step below 10 microseconds for medium speed motors using standard INTEL processors or below 250 nanoseconds using FPGA chips.
Complex and Detailed Voltage Source Converters
eDRIVEsim™ provides unsurpassed precision block set for power electronics and high frequency switching devices used in voltage source converters (VSC) such as two-level and three-level converters, multi-drive systems, and matrix converters. Users can easily develop complex drive and power electronic circuits including filters, RLC components and other electrical devices.
Cogging Torque Simulation with Finite Element Analysis Based Models
With the optional eDRIVEsim™ JMAG module, users can readily use commercially available JMAG phase domain finite element analysis (FEA) motor models and put them in a real-time environment. It also provides the ability to simulate the effect of rotor asymmetry, back EMF harmonics, saturation effects and cogging torque.

Simulate Dead Time Effect OPAL-RT’s toolboxes also let you capture and time stamp inverter gate signals occurring between simulation time steps. The goal being to accurately calculate PWM duty cycle, frequency and simulate dead time effect, without having to reduce the simulation time step. High performance and low computation overhead; this is OPAL-RT’s unique modelling algorithms at the service of your application.
Simulation of Fault Conditions OPAL-RT’s advanced and unique solvers allow the simulation of very complex transient and fault conditions on motor terminals and on semi-conductor devices such as IGBT or DC and AC buses. User can also simulate active and natural rectification modes of AC-DC converters.
