Simulation of power consumption in electric trains is categorized in two categories: electrical power simulation and mechanical power simulation. The mechanical power is calculated as speed times tractive effort and it gives an overall view on the total energy consumption of the train during different driving cycles. Detailed calculation of losses in different components in the propulsion system is however done using complex electrical models. In this paper, we introduce a nonlinear regression model generated from validated electrical equations for the calculation of the power loss in the motor converter module of electric trains. The function can be used instead of efficiency maps to evaluate the trains' performance during the operation or dynamic simulations.
