Abstract:
The present invention relates to a power distribution system for a railbound vehicle, comprising a switching module (12), a DC distribution bus (3) included in a DC power path and a power electronic traction converter unit (13) for receiving AC power via the one or more AC power paths which is configured to convert the received AC power to DC power which is applied to the DC distribution bus (3), wherein the switching unit comprising an input terminal for receiving power from an external power supply, reconfiguration switches (24, 25) configured either to direct DC power of the external power supply received via the input terminal to the DC power path or to direct AC power of the external power supply received via the input terminal to a respective one of one or more AC power paths and an adaptation element (20) for providing AC and DC filtering of the power received via the input terminal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an energy management and distribution system for a railbound vehicle (1 ), comprising: - a plurality of power electronic traction transformers (5) for coupling to an AC catenary (3) for receiving high-voltage AC power; - a common DC bus (6) being connected for supplying electrical energy to one or more loads (8); and - a control unit (9) capable of activating and deactivating the power electronic traction transformers (5) depending on the total power required by the loads (8).
