Abstract:This paper showcases a systematic procedure to design the most efficient re design of a commercially available induction machine to be used as a traction motor in an Electric Freight Locomotive for the rail journey from Tehran to Mashhad. Using Taguchi optimization, copper and aluminium wound versions of the machine are optimized for an 1870-ton load locomotive with a peak power of 1203kW. The driving cycle is summarized using the K-means clustering method to obtain representative points. Full details of the d… Show more
