Factors affecting specific energy consumption in traction
Explanation:
FACTORS AFFECTING SPECIFIC ENERGY CONSUMPTION
DISTANCE COVERED
The wider distance among stops is the lower the defined consumption of energy.
In comparison to the main line service, the suburban service is poorer.
Typical prices of 60 and 25 per ton-km for both services.
2. ACCELERATION AND RETARDATION
The actual energy usage in a defined run and speed is less and the acceleration and delay is higher because the long shore time can be reached and the output turned on in a smaller span.
3. TRAIN RESISTANCE
The special energy consumption relies on the resistance of the rail, the train speed and the form of the rolling stock.
The resistance of the rail also falls on the train's front and back.
4. GRADIENT
As steep gradients increase, more energy is required by regenerative braking, due to the different energy consumption.
5. MAXIMUM SPEED
With an increase in top speed, real energy consumption rises.
6. TRAIN EQUIPMENT
The basic energy usage can be reduced and using more effective train equipment.
