A Fundamental Train Running Experiment for a Basic Performance Verification of a Train Power Demand Control System by Decentralized Control Algorithm

摘要

It is greatly important to restrict power consumption of running trains for reducing power consumption cost. This study aims to control the train's 'power demand', average power consumption in 30 minutes, utilizing decentralized control scheme. This control system is a server-less system and is advantageous from the view point of plug & play and capital investment. In this work, it was verified that this control scheme can achieve the power demand control by the fundamental train running experiment.
