The development of alternative power trains requires powerful modeling and simulation techniques, which support concept decisions, designing of components, developing of control strategies and more. In the recent years object-oriented modeling and simulation techniques, which promise a higher flexibility compared to conventional tools, have gained increasing interest. Within the paper, architecture and components of a library for the simulation of alternative power trains are described, whereby the powerful concept of a causal formulation of equations and interfaces between components with physical meaning is described. As an example, a simulation model of a light diesel-powered railcar is presented. The potential improvement of fuel economy regarding different application settings is evaluated.
