Abstract

High-speed rail locomotives with on-board energy storage system need unconventional energy management systems for optimal efficiency. The distributed environment of controls and instrumentation is well suited to network communications even in this EMI rich environment. A network architecture description is presented along with benchmark analysis, and prototypes of a control system capable of meeting expectations for reliability, functionality and cost.
