Abstract :
The article describes the design of an electric train network simulator. The proposed software aims to help designing electric train power supply networks. It consists of two combined simulators namely a run time simulator and a network simulator. A case study of an energy Storage System (ESS) project is presented to demonstrate its usefulness in estimating and calculating energy savings for a Sacramento, Califorrnia, light rail application.
