1E12 The measurement and analysis of the driving energy in the shinkansen (Environment and Energy)

Abstract

Reduction of the electricity consumption of the railway vehicle is an urgent problem of JR East. We performed the measurement and analysis about run energy of the Shinkansen which ran high speed and a long distance this time. And we clarified behavior such as the electricity for all units in the train set. The measurement utilized an intelligent function of Shinkansen train information management system (S-TIMS) of E5 series. Furthermore, we attached an integrating wattmeter to the inside of the converter inverter and attached a current sensor in the main transformer to grasp a pantograph point current exactly.
