New supply
solutions

DC railway and metro systems, that are supplied by unidirectional substations, demonstrate a significant waste of energy due to their inability to fully recover the energy produced by electric braking.
New supply solutions like Bidirectional substations and/or storage systems are expected to significantly improve energy efficiency.

Objectives

New supply solutions

Electric transport operators, supply designers and developers need standardized methodologies and procedures that support substation procurement and allow accurate and reliable evaluation of the actual efficiency of power transformers and converters and system energy saving under real operating conditions.
