11 results about "Head-end power" patented technology

In rail transport, head-end power (HEP), also known as electric train supply (ETS), is the electrical power distribution system on a passenger train. The power source, usually a locomotive (or a generator car) at the front or 'head' of a train, provides the electricity used for heating, lighting, electrical and other 'hotel' needs. The maritime equivalent is hotel electric power. A successful attempt by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in October 1881 to light the passenger car between London and Brighton heralded the beginning of using electricity to light trains in the world.

Train power supply system, train control method and rail transit control system

PendingCN122300258AControl systemCarriage
This application provides a train power supply system, a train control method, and a rail transit control system. The train has multiple carriages equipped with electrical systems. The train power supply system includes multiple power supply units. Each power supply unit is located on a corresponding carriage and supplies power to the electrical system of that carriage. Each power supply unit also has a power supply circuit connecting it to the electrical systems of other carriages. By increasing the power supply circuits between each carriage's power supply unit and the electrical systems of other carriages, when a power supply unit in one carriage experiences a temperature abnormality fault, power can be supplied to the electrical system of that carriage through the power supply units of other carriages, ensuring that carriages with faulty power supply units can still operate normally.

An Optimization Method for Emergency Self-Rescue Operation of EMUs Equipped with Onboard Energy Storage Devices

This invention discloses an optimized method for emergency self-rescue operation of high-speed trains equipped with onboard energy storage devices. Specifically, when a train experiences a short-term power outage or prolonged power failure due to power supply system failure, natural disasters, overhead contact line failure, or other unforeseen factors, the train enters an emergency operation state after driver confirmation. Based on the current train status, track conditions, bidirectional station distances, train parameters and traction characteristics, onboard energy storage device status, and auxiliary system energy consumption, an improved genetic algorithm is used to make emergency operation decisions for the current state, obtaining forward and reverse emergency operation schemes for the fault point. Based on the feasibility analysis of the optimized schemes obtained from the two target stations, the optimal emergency operation solution is selected. This invention enables emergency self-rescue operation of trains, effectively solving the problem of short-term or prolonged power outages affecting normal daily train operations and potentially triggering secondary disasters.

Emergency power supply control method and device for train and train

The application discloses a train emergency power supply control method and device and a train, and relates to the field of train power supply. The train is connected with a high-voltage power supply system. After determining that the connection is disconnected, it is determined whether an emergency power supply instruction is detected. After detecting the emergency power supply instruction, the residual power of each battery on the train is determined. All the batteries with residual power greater than a first preset power are used as power supply batteries. All the power supply batteries are used to supply power to the train. When an emergency traction instruction is received, the train is driven to run at a first preset speed. The method for supplying power to the train by the battery can continue to drive the train to run after the train is disconnected from the high-voltage power supply system, thereby avoiding affecting the running plan of the train and the riding experience of passengers on the train. In addition, by controlling the train to run at a constant speed, the power consumption of the battery can be effectively saved, and the running distance of the train when the battery supplies power can be prolonged.
