Alternative - and in particular hybrid - drives will supplement conventional drives in many mobile machines in the foreseeable future or even replace them in some areas. The use of electric components in vehicles, particularly in the drivetrain, is expected to bring major benefits in terms of energy savings.

However, the costs and benefits of new solutions for hybrid powertrains are difficult to estimate and are generally only known in individual cases. It would be desirable to have a calculation and simulation option for frequently occurring - and therefore transferable - cases for complete drivetrain topologies, drive systems and drivetrain components as well as auxiliary and auxiliary drives that are based on or use lossy electrical components. A modular system created in this way with models of lossy electrical components for numerical simulation would be very helpful in providing decision-making support before the actual realization of a drivetrain. In particular, the implementation of a (partially) electrified powertrain is often associated with major hurdles (new technology, etc.). The decision to overcome such hurdles must currently still be based on a very thin knowledge and data base. The sub-project eANSKO_II starts at this point and continues the sub-projects ANSKO (2006-2008) and eANSKO_I (1.Q_2010) as planned.
