回生エネルギー交換と路線勾配の影響を考慮した省エネルギー列車運転法

抄録

To save energy consumption for the DC electric railway, regenerative braking energy between adjacent trains is very important. By adjusting the run curve of the train that receives RBE, we can effectively save energy. However, the energy that can be utilized between trains is constrained by many factors including motor efficiency, departure time interval, gradient, and so on. In this paper, we first introduce the composition and design method of energy-efficient operation for trains to utilize regenerative energy. Then, we discuss differences of the amount of regenerative energy utilization and suitable patterns of efficient train operations when depending on different vertical track profiles.
