Allows the reader to deepen their understanding of various
technologies for both fixed power supply installations of railway
systems and for railway rolling stock This book explores the
electric railway systems that play a crucial role in the mitigation
of congestion and pollution caused by road traffic. It is divided
into two parts: the first covering fixed power supply systems, and
the second concerning the systems for railway rolling stock. In
particular, after a historical introduction to the framework of
technological solutions in current use, the authors investigate
electrification systems for the power supply of rail vehicles,
trams, and subways. Electrical Railway Transportation Systems
explores the direct current systems used throughout the world for
urban and suburban transport, which are also used in various
countries for regional transport. It provides a study of
alternating current systems, whether for power supply frequency or
for special railway frequency, that are used around the world for
the electrification of railway lines, long-distance lines, and
high-speed lines. In addition, this resource: Analyzes multiple
railway systems from a theoretical and realizable vantage point,
with particular regard to functionality, electromagnetic
compatibility, and interferences with other electrical systems
Studies electric traction railway vehicles, presenting various
types of drives and auxiliary devices currently in circulation
Discusses solutions employed to ensure interoperability of vehicles
that run along lines powered by different systems (e.g., DC and AC,
at different frequencies) Electrical Railway Transportation Systems
is an ideal text for graduate students studying the subject as well
as for industry professionals working in the field.
