碩士 === 南台科技大學 === 電機工程系 === 98 === In recent years, natural disasters are frequent, serious environmental pollution, especially global warming issue is being urgently discussed. Reduce carbon emissions, is already the current world focus on target study. Whether eat vegetarian to save the earth, or the new energy-saving technology, has been pressing for action to save the planet. Railway transportation is the one of the economic development. Although road and air transport, railway transport status is declining. But, large-capacity transport, or in convenience and safety, rail transport can`t be replace. In Taiwan also has completed the railway system around all, It know how the importance of the railway is. Railway electrification is a necessary trend. However used steam, diesel or other power, both have their advantages and disadvantages. Whether low performance of steam engines, or engines burn diesel or fuel that cause air pollution. It is not an advanced country will adopt a mode of transport, using the environment-polluting clean energy, has been a priority. Taiwan is also still doing the whole railway system of electrification. With the wiring length and the density of the railway system, electric energy consumption is very swollen, Effective use energy that is also an important issue. The focus of this study is to use superconductors within a DC rail power system. The advantage of superconductors is zero electrical resistance. Use it to simulate the DC electric railway power simulation in RTSS (Railway Total System Simulator). Simulate superconducting cable iii into the DC electric railway systems to achieve energy saving effect.
