While the capability to conveniently model complex physical systems with Modelica is generally accepted; the capability to perform large scale model integration and analysis as part of a validation and verification process remained unproven. In this paper we give evidence of Modelica/Dymola to be suitable for the virtual testing of complex energy systems in the future MEA design process. We demonstrate the modeling and the simulation results of component stand-alone tests as well as the tests of an integrated aircraft power network.
