Abstract:

The wayside power system provides all the power requirements of an electric vehicle operating on a fixed guideway. For a given set of specifications there are numerous wayside power supply configurations which will be satisfactory from a technical standpoint. The purpose here is to determine among a set of technically feasible designs, the one which is most cost effective. The primary cost tradeoff used in this study is between power rails and substations. Included is a presentation of the major technical and cost characteristics of each and a means of parameterizing these quantities, a procedure for optimizing costs, identification of the principal characteristics of a cost effective solution, and a comparison of ac and dc wayside power systems. For purposes of illustration, numerical values and costs for the Tracked Levitated Research Vehicle and the wayside power rail at the High Speed Train Test Center at Pueblo, Colorado, are used.
