Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for simulating traction power and control in transportation systems under design conditions and/or utilizing real-time data.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for simulating power use in an electrically powered transportation system comprising:
 storing transportation system specific information as first data in memory;   monitoring, with one or more sensors, power usage in the transportation system wherein vehicle movement in the system creates dynamic electrical loads and creating second data associated with the monitoring;   storing the second data in memory;   utilizing the stored first and second data in power distribution calculations; and   displaying results of the power distribution calculations to a user using a user interface.   
     
     
         2 . The method for simulating power use in an electrically powered transportation system of  claim 1 , wherein results of the power distribution calculations create simulations of future power distribution scenarios. 
     
     
         3 . The method for simulating power use in an electrically powered transportation system of  claim 1 , wherein displaying results of the power distribution calculations for a user includes displaying a dynamic simulation screen. 
     
     
         4 . The method for simulating power use in an electrically powered transportation system of  claim 1 , wherein transportation system specific information further comprises rolling stock information. 
     
     
         5 . The method for simulating power use in an electrically powered transportation system of  claim 1 , wherein transportation system specific information further comprises power cable information. 
     
     
         6 . The method for simulating power use in an electrically powered transportation system of  claim 1 , wherein transportation system specific information further comprises geography specific information. 
     
     
         7 . The method for simulating power use in an electrically powered transportation system of  claim 1 , wherein storing the second data in memory further comprises storing the second data with an event specific identifier based on load conditions in the transportation system. 
     
     
         8 . The method for simulating power use in an electrically powered transportation system of  claim 1 , wherein the user interface can be changed from a geospatial view to a one-line view. 
     
     
         9 . The method for simulating power use in an electrically powered transportation system of  claim 1 , further comprising accessing a third party server and downloading transportation system specific information before storing transportation system specific information as first data in memory 
     
     
         10 . The method for simulating power use in an electrically powered transportation system of  claim 1 , wherein storing transportation system specific information as first data in memory further comprises storing user-inputted transportation system specific information.
