An energy efficient optimized control algorithm for urban rail transit system

The energy consumption of urban rail transit system involves train traction, air conditioning system, elevator, water supply and drainage equipment and so on, wherein the traction energy consumption accounts for more than 40% of the total energy consumption. With more concerning about low-carbon and environment protection, it has become a research hotspot that how to minimize the traction energy consumption during operation. Aiming at the optimized control of single train in complex line conditions, we design an algorithm based on recursion, by which we can obtain the most efficient control strategy with a set of constraints and effectively reduce the traction energy consumption. Meanwhile, we focus on the multiple-unit trains' cooperative control issue, and give the relevant solutions to improve the proportion of recovered renewable braking energy.
