Maintenance of a Minimum Voltage to Equipment in Rail Vehicle

摘要

Herein described is at least a system for generating one or more control signals based on a voltage provided by an energy storage device. Based on the one or more control signals, the system may selectively enable flow of current through one of: a) a first circuitry when the voltage is equal to or greater than a threshold value, and b) a second circuitry when the voltage is less than the threshold value, wherein the flow of the current through the second circuitry upconverts the voltage associated with the current from a first value to a second value.

1. A rail vehicle system comprising:
a first circuitry configured for generating one or more control signals based on a voltage provided by an energy storage device; a second circuitry configured for:
receiving said one or more control signals; andfirst providing current sourced by said energy storage device through said second circuitry to power one or more devices, said first providing performed when said one or more control signals enables said second circuitry; and a third circuitry configured for:
receiving said one or more control signals;upconverting said voltage from a first value to a second value, andsecond providing said current through said third circuitry to power said one or more devices, said upconverting and said second providing performed when said one or more control signals enables said third circuitry; andwherein said one or more control signals are configured to selectively enable one of: a) said second circuitry when said voltage is equal to or greater than a threshold value, and b) said third circuitry when said voltage is less than said threshold value.
