What is Traction Power Load Flow Simulation Analysis?
Traction power load flow simulation is a planning tool created to help railroad stakeholders choose the appropriate system that will provide power to their trains. The modeling of a traction power system can generate varied, valuable data that describes the loads that components of the traction power system can be put under. This helps determine the number and size of substations and cables installed along the track alignment, estimate energy consumption, suggest contingencies, and more.
