Abstract

This paper proposes a method to determine the regenerative brake characteristics of a battery-powered railway vehicle to increase its running distance on the non-electrified line and to decrease the required distance of the electrified line, considering two-quadrant chopper power. The proposed method is verified through experimental results.
