A Tool for Prediction and Optimization of Railway Traction Systems with Respect to an Expected Mission Profile

A Tool for Prediction and Optimization of Railway Traction Systems with Respect to an Expected Mission Profile

In this work a tool called TrEnO aimed at evaluating efficiency, power dissipation and consequently the thermal behavior of several components of the traction system is proposed, in order to quantify the overall energy consumption and to provide instruments for its optimization. The tool takes into...
