Abstract


The paper suggests a control technique for improving energy saving in metropolitan trains equipped by energy storing devices. The most important feature of time scheduling of train’s movement in traction systems, is on time and satisfactory transportation of passengers, it can be shown that the consumed electrical energy could be optimized by proper design of trains' movement timetables, in addition to other important features. Moreover, trains' movement timetables in many electrical traction systems in different countries are not scheduled to optimize consumed electrical energy. Exact modelling of an electrical railway system with energy storing devices are needed for optimized consumption of electrical energy.

 

Keywords: Subway system, traction application, energy management, train timetable optimization, energy storage device
