Adlershof depot (Berlin)

Adlershof depot (Berlin)

The objective of the project was to size the electrical traction infrastructure in the depot and to calculate of the energy and power requirements for N and N-1 scenarios under winter conditions.

Description of the project:

Create the model of the depot, including several lines to simulate how vehicles drive in, within and out of the depot. Also, the next substations in the vicinity of the depo were modelled to an accurate simulation of main power fail (N-1). The following questions can be solved: - Which is the maximum power and energy demand of the depot? - How many traction groups and circuit breakers must be installed in the substation? - How many feeding sections areas must be designed in the depot? - Is the voltage of the contact wire and rail within the values defined in EN50163 and EN50122? - Is the maximum temperature of the contact wire under 70 C? - How should the catenary be sized to supply the depot from the exterior in case of failure of the main substation?
