Abstract
Nowadays, mechatronic systems are used in every field and all around us, going through micro, small, medium and large power systems. Due to their widespread use, mechatronic system design plays an important role in energy sustainability. Mechatronic systems are generally complex systems from a modelling point of view due to the presence of several domains and a set of related interfaces for energy exchanges. Such a context needs a multi-domain and integrated design to correctly evaluate mechatronic system performances. Modelling and simulation tasks are generally adopted to evaluate the behaviour of mechatronic systems in order to meet system requirements. Unfortunately, energy saving is not always considered among the set of primary requirements, while it is tackled only after reaching the expected system behaviour. The present chapter tackles the multi-domain modelling and simulation of mechatronic systems according to V-model steps and using the RFLP approach driven by sustainability requirements. The key idea is to perform a concurrent evaluation of energy and domain performances. It summarises a case study, by using Matlab/Simscape environment, to illustrate the used approach. Moreover, it introduces the design of mechatronic systems pulled by environmental sustainability as a new paradigm in opposition to the design pushed by system performances.
