A Study of Energy Efficiency in Rail Vehicles

Öz:
Today, rail vehicles are frequently preferred both in urban and intercity transportation due to theirhigh passenger capacity, speed and increasing environmental awareness. As in every field, energy efficiencystudies have become compulsory in these vehicles. Because, they have high energy consumption even in theirdaily services. For energy efficiency, there are various strategies such as electrification losses reduction,utilization of regenerative braking and improvement of comfort function and efficient driving techniques havebeen performed in this paper. For this purpose, firstly, the driving of a rail vehicle has been modeled on Matlabconsidering all vehicle information, track information and operational constraints. Then, four different drivingstyles have been determined for the efficient use of energy and their effects on travel time and energyconsumption have been examined. The study has been tested with the practical data of Ankaray metro line whichhas eleven stations and is 8.527 km long. According to the results of the paper, coasting control is more effectivefor long distances and reduction of the maximum speed is more convenient for short distances. Furthermore, ithas been demonstrated that thanks to the determined strategies, the vehicle can save up to 11.54-36.37% energycompared to practical driving.

Raylı Araçlarda Enerji Verimliliği Çalışması

Öz:
Günümüzde raylı sistem araçları yüksek yolcu kapasiteleri, hızları ve artan çevre bilinci nedeniyle şehir içi ve şehirlerarası ulaşımda sıklıkla tercih edilmektedir. Her alanda olduğu gibi, raylı sistem araçlarının günlük servislerinde bile yüksek enerji tüketimine sahip olmasından dolayı bu araçlarda da enerji verimliliği çalışmaları zorunlu hale gelmiştir. Raylı sistemlerde enerjinin verimli kullanılmasını sağlamak için çekiş kayıplarının azaltılması, rejeneratif enerjinin kullanılması ve konfor fonksiyonlarının iyileştirilmesi gibi çeşitli stratejiler vardır ve bu çalışmada verimli sürüş teknikleri uygulanmıştır. Bu amaçla, öncelikle, araca ait bilgiler, yola ait veriler ve operasyonel kısıtlamalar göz önünde bulundurularak, bir demiryolu aracının sürüşü Matlab'da modellenmiştir. Daha sonra, enerjinin verimli kullanımı için dört farklı sürüş stili belirlenmiş ve bunların seyahat süresi ve enerji tüketimi üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Çalışma 11 istasyonlu ve 8.527 km uzunluğundaki Ankaray metro hattının pratik verileriyle test edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, uzun mesafeli istasyonlar için boşta gitme stili, kısa mesafeli istasyonlar için maksimum hızın azaltılması stili daha etkilidir. Ayrıca belirlenen stratejiler sayesinde aracın pratik sürüşe göre % 11.54-36.37 oranında enerji tasarrufu sağlayabildiği gösterilmiştir.
