Abstract
This paper reviews the evolution of auxiliary power systems before examining the key requirements of a modern system, and some of the methods employed to meet these requirements. The paper is written from a viewpoint of railway operations and fleet maintenance. It does not cover technical details of power conversion equipment in detail as the principles of operation and technologies are the same as for propulsion equipment covered in other papers.
