Series: TRITA-SCI-GRU ; 2023:302Publication details: Stockholm : KTH Royal Institute of Technology, 2023Description: 78 sSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: The study aimed to analyze and identify strategies to reduce energy consumption in the railway system. The research methodology involved an analysis of various factors influencing energy usage focusing on traction-related systems. The findings of the study highlight the significant role of optimizing drive strategies in minimizing energy consumption. Through careful selection of acceleration and deceleration profiles, substantial energy savings can be achieved. Additionally, timetable adjustments were identified as a viable approach to reducing energy consumption without compromising travel time significantly. By considering energy-efficient timetabling strategies, rail systems can achieve notable reductions in energy usage. Furthermore, the research explored the potential benefits of planned motor switch-off during cruising. Strategic management of motor groups during this phase can lead to enhanced energy efficiency and contribute to overall energy savings. By optimizing motor usage and minimizing unnecessary power consumption, significant reductions in energy consumption can be attained.The study aimed to analyze and identify strategies to reduce energy consumption in the railway system.
