Abstract:In recent decades, advanced power-electronics-based control techniques have been widely used to electric drives for the traction of modern locomotives. However, the dynamic response of such locomotives under transient conditions due to external perturbations has not been fully investigated. In this work, an integrated dynamic model for a typical Co-Co locomotive/track system is developed to provide predictive simulations of the motion and forces transmitted throughout the whole locomotive dynamic system.
