Simplified validation of simulation models of electric traction networks

The validation of an electric traction network simulator is addressed by selecting testing conditions and considering three performance indexes that evaluate amplitude, slope and other curve features. A common interpretation scale is proposed to verify their agreement. Moreover, since the most complex cannot be fully used without a graphical representation of its output, this is simplified, in order to conclude the validation with an estimate of accuracy that is as close as possible to the classical declaration that accompanies instrumentation.
