An electrical circuit model and an analog computer simulation have been developed to represent the dynamic behaviour of an IC engine and eddy current dynamometer system. Various refinements to the model are introduced and its performance is compared with that of the real system using pseudo-random binary sequence and sinewave testing techniques. A brief description of the necessary instrumentation and interfacing is included.
