Optimizing Power Consumption of the Electric Vehicle Traction

Abstract:

The study refers to optimizing energy consumption from electric trains, underground trains and electric locomotives. The actual requirements of the dynamic market economy are forcing the railway system to transform into a reliable alternative to the road and air traffic. From this perspective, the railways have to fulfill two key elements: Economical efficiency and reliability and to offer what the potential customer needs. One of the main elements is the respect of the timetables or (if possible) the decrease of the running times. The running time is the main referential, especially when it’s related to the power consumption. The optimization of the running times and the power consumption is the most important target for railway operators and depends on the correct choice of the drive regimes. Article deals with energy optimization from the perspective of traction. Analysis can be applied also to diesel railcars and diesel locomotives.
