Addressing the Sustainable Energy Conversion in Electric Railway Vehicles with Traction Synchronous Motors
Authors: , , , , ,
Abstract: This paper addresses some aspects illustrating sustainable energy conversion processes during the operation of electric railway vehicles with traction synchronous motors. Increasing efforts are being expended to enhance the sustainability of transportation technologies and systems, and supporting transport systems’ sustainability is a key way of thinking towards cleaner production. In line with this idea, this paper addresses the operation sustainability of electric railway vehicles with traction synchronous motors, highlighting the chain of interactions among the main electric equipment on an electrically driven railway system. The paper supports the findings that electric traction drive systems using traction synchronous motors powered by network-side converters and machine-side converters enhance the sustainable operation of railway trains.
