<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Allows the reader to deepen their understanding of various technologies for both fixed power supply installations of railway systems and for railway rolling stock</b></p> <p>This book explores the electric railway systems that play a crucial role in the mitigation of congestion and pollution caused by road traffic. It is divided into two parts: the first covering fixed power supply systems, and the second concerning the systems for railway rolling stock. In particular, after a historical introduction to the framework of technological solutions in current use, the authors investigate electrification systems for the power supply of rail vehicles, trams, and subways.</p> <p><i>Electrical Railway Transportation Systems</i> explores the direct current systems used throughout the world for urban and suburban transport, which are also used in various countries for regional transport. It provides a study of alternating current systems, whether for power supply frequency or for special railway frequency, that are used around the world for the electrification of railway lines, long-distance lines, and high-speed lines. In addition, this resource: </p> <ul> <li>Analyzes multiple railway systems from a theoretical and realizable vantage point, with particular regard to functionality, electromagnetic compatibility, and interferences with other electrical systems</li> <li>Studies electric traction railway vehicles, presenting various types of drives and auxiliary devices currently in circulation</li> <li>Discusses solutions employed to ensure interoperability of vehicles that run along lines powered by different systems (e.g., DC and AC, at different frequencies)</li> </ul> <i>Electrical Railway Transportation Systems</i> is an ideal text for graduate students studying the subject as well as for industry professionals working in the field.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b>Allows the reader to deepen their understanding of various technologies for both fixed power supply installations of railway systems and for railway rolling stock</b> <p>This book explores the electric railway systems that play a crucial role in the mitigation of congestion and pollution caused by road traffic.
