  2. 1. On Design of a Compact Primary Switched Conversion System for Electric Railway Propulsion

    Author : Tommy Kjellqvist; Stefan Östlund; Alfred Rufer; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Isolated AC DC converter; Mutual commutation; Soft Switching; Cyclo converter; Medium-Frequency Transformer; Electric Railway Propulsion; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a compact and light primary switched conversion system for AC-fed railway propulsion is investigated. It is characterized by soft switching of all converter stages and a source commutated primary converter comprising series connected valves. READ MORE

  4. 2. Increasing Energy Efficiency in Electric Trains Operation : Driver Advisory Systems and Energy Storage

    Author : Nima Ghaviha; Erik Dahlquist; Markus Bohlin; Fredrik Wallin; Rob M.P. Goverde; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Driver Advisory System; Catenary-free Operation; Electric Train; Electric Multiple Unit; Battery; Energy Efficiency; Energy Storage; Speed Profile Optimization; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

    Abstract : Electric traction is the most efficient traction system in the railway transportation. However, due to the expensive infrastructure and high power demand from the grid, the share of electric trains in the railway transportation is still lower than other trains. READ MORE

  5. 3. Evaluation of test cycles for freight locomotives

    Author : Mattias Skoglund; Stefan Östlund; Peter Thelin; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; duty cycles; test cycles; diesel locomotives; locomotive emissions; dual modes; hybrid systems;

    Abstract : Diesel locomotives provide versatility to the railway system as they do not depend on electric feeding. Worldwide they constitute important parts of locomotive fleets used for various tasks such as mainline services, shunting and terminal operations. The main drawbacks are emissions of CO2, NOx and other pollutants. READ MORE
