Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums for modeling energy conversion in systems are described herein. One method includes identifying an external parameter that influences operation of the system, determining a characteristic curve of a component of the system using a value of the identified external parameter, and determining a model of energy conversion in the system using the characteristic curve of the component.
