Description of the project:

Create the model of the metro network with different 3rd rail technologies. New substations have been added to the model. The following problems are solved using the simulation tool: - Is the voltage of the contact wire within the values defined in EN50163? - How many new substations are needed to run the new schedules? - How much braking energy can be reused if the vehicles use regenerative instead of rheostatic braking? - How much energy can be saved if the 3rd rail steel is replaced by aluminum? - Are additional feeding cables needed to deliver all the energy required for the new schedule?
