REVIEWth<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> GPS does not recognize <strong>the</strong> curve <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>railway</strong> track in<strong>the</strong> <strong>moment</strong> <strong>of</strong> reading, but it works along <strong>the</strong> bee-line. Therefore<strong>the</strong> accuracy <strong>of</strong> this system amounts to approxim<strong>at</strong>ely 94 %. If <strong>the</strong>number <strong>of</strong> squares is increased, <strong>the</strong> squares become smaller anda more accur<strong>at</strong>e result is obtained.Fig. 11 Measuring <strong>of</strong> consumption <strong>of</strong> energy on electric locomotives onSlovene <strong>railway</strong>sand current transductor type LF 2005-S/SP9. The consumed energyis read by <strong>the</strong> d<strong>at</strong>a memory, in which <strong>the</strong> d<strong>at</strong>a on consumedenergy and d<strong>at</strong>a from GPS are combined. These d<strong>at</strong>a are sent to<strong>the</strong> server EGIDA (where <strong>the</strong> d<strong>at</strong>a <strong>of</strong> all electric locomotives arecollected). From <strong>the</strong>re <strong>the</strong> d<strong>at</strong>a are sent to <strong>the</strong> server GEMA.R,which unites all <strong>the</strong> d<strong>at</strong>a from <strong>the</strong> inform<strong>at</strong>ion system <strong>of</strong> trafficperformance (ISUP) and from <strong>railway</strong> subst<strong>at</strong>ions (ENP). Thed<strong>at</strong>a on <strong>the</strong> consumer are sent to <strong>the</strong> INTRANET [5].In <strong>the</strong> continu<strong>at</strong>ion, <strong>the</strong> analysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> run <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> train No.47408, with a mass <strong>of</strong> 1708 tons and with a locomotive series 363– 004 is shown for <strong>the</strong> trip from Ljubljana to Maribor on 14 September2007. For better understanding <strong>the</strong> analysis <strong>of</strong> energy consumption<strong>of</strong> this train is given only for <strong>the</strong> distance travelled fromLjubljana to Ljubljana Moste (Table 1) [6].Analysis <strong>of</strong> electricity consumption <strong>at</strong> train 47408on <strong>railway</strong> line Ljubljana – Ljubljana Moste Table 1Consumed[kWh]Regener<strong>at</strong>ed[kWh]TracksectionSpeed[km/h]Width[m]Length[m]1 0 Ljubljana 0 46.0588 14.52671 0 Ljubljana 0 46.0588 14.52670 0 Ljubljana 17 46.0588 14.527920 0 Ljubljana –LjubljanaMoste35 46.0589 14.5339The fifth and <strong>the</strong> sixth column in <strong>the</strong> table represent <strong>the</strong> widthand <strong>the</strong> length <strong>of</strong> d<strong>at</strong>a acquisition from <strong>the</strong> locomotive by <strong>the</strong>GPS equipment. The GPS system divides <strong>the</strong> area <strong>of</strong> movement<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> locomotive into small squares and each such square indic<strong>at</strong>estransmitted inform<strong>at</strong>ion about <strong>the</strong> energy consumed from<strong>the</strong> locomotive to <strong>the</strong> centre. It must be taken into consider<strong>at</strong>ionOver <strong>the</strong> total distance <strong>of</strong> 156 km <strong>the</strong> electric energy consumptionfor this train was 2893 kWh. This energy consumption amountsonly to 10.89 Wh/brtkm which is much less than average consumption<strong>of</strong> 35.1 Wh/brtkm with 461 series locomotives. This isdue to differences in <strong>railway</strong> line difficulty. Line Ljubljana – Mariborhas no ascending slopes, for <strong>the</strong> most part <strong>the</strong>re is a downgrade <strong>of</strong>10 ‰. Lines <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Serbia <strong>railway</strong>s, for which <strong>the</strong>se measurementsare made, are mainly steep with a slope up to 27 ‰.Line Koper – Divaca in Slovenija with a slope up to 26 ‰energy consumption with 363 series locomotives amounts about45 Wh/brtkm.6. ConclusionThe s<strong>of</strong>tware for <strong>the</strong> electric locomotive optimiz<strong>at</strong>ion controlfor driving energy savings purposes enables <strong>the</strong> user to find <strong>the</strong>optimal combin<strong>at</strong>ion (according to his needs) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> changeabletrain traction parameters. Almost every train traction parameter ischangeable: locomotive series with all characteristic parameters(<strong>wheel</strong> usage percentage, rot<strong>at</strong>ion masses affect factor, nominaltraction motors voltage value, continuous and maximum tractionmotors current, efficiency <strong>of</strong> cog-<strong>wheel</strong>s, deform<strong>at</strong>ion factor, locomotiveactive and apparent power on <strong>the</strong> pantograph, etc.), lineelements (maximum speeds, stopping, restricted-speed running,length <strong>of</strong> stops in st<strong>at</strong>ions, track resistance, etc.). The amount <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> output results is bigger than in all <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r projects done s<strong>of</strong>ar. The train running <strong>simul<strong>at</strong>ion</strong> time is considerably shorter thanin all o<strong>the</strong>r traction-energy calcul<strong>at</strong>ion methods known so far. The<strong>simul<strong>at</strong>ion</strong> results can also be used for making <strong>the</strong> regime card <strong>of</strong>each train run in <strong>the</strong> whole timetable diagram.In order to verify in practice <strong>the</strong> calcul<strong>at</strong>ed driving energy consumption<strong>of</strong> electric locomotives <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> Serbian Railway numerousmeasurements are conducted on <strong>the</strong> tracks. These measurementsshow high coincidence between <strong>the</strong>oretical and practical results.The s<strong>of</strong>tware for train driving energy consumption is alsoapplied on <strong>the</strong> diesel locomotives and <strong>the</strong> only electric-motor trainseries ZS 412/416 for urban-suburban traffic on <strong>the</strong> Serbian Railways.For this manner <strong>of</strong> analysis <strong>of</strong> consumption electricity energyare decided in Slovenia because <strong>of</strong> larger number <strong>of</strong> carriers.COMMUNICATIONS 3/2008 ●55
