Computer simulation of transit power systems

The Cegelec Multi Train Simulator (MTS) is a suite of computer programs, which are used to assist the design of dc railway power supply systems. At Cegelec Projects Limited (CPL), the MTS has been used extensively in the engineering of large projects such as the Manchester Metrolink, Ankara Metro and the Jubilee Line Extension. The paper describes the applications of the MTS in engineering and the most recent developments on the simulator which have been driven by such applications
