Popis: Validation is a critical aspect of product development for meeting design goals and mitigating risk in the face of considerable cost and time commitments. In this research article, uncertainty quantification (UQ) for efficiency testing of an Electric Drive Unit (EDU) is demonstrated, considering confidence in simulations with respect to the validation campaign. The methodology used for UQ is consistent with the framework mentioned in the guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM). An analytical evaluation of the measurement chain involved in EDU efficiency testing was performed and elemental uncertainties were derived, later to be propagated to the derived quantity of efficiency. When uncertainties were associated with measurements, the erroneous measurements made through sensors in the measurement chain were highlighted. These results were used for the assessment of requirement coverage and the validation of test results.
