Abstract

Authors have developed a train running energy simulator with some functions of speed profile generators and an equivalent feeding circuit model for the purpose of the energy estimation of commercial train running. Energy consumption depends on feeding voltage, which varies according to the running position of the train and the condition of other running trains. Therefore, the developed simulator has an equivalent feeding circuit model for commercial train running. This paper verifies the developed simulator using recorded running data of commercial trains.
