SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE CHARGING OF BATTERIES FROM AN ELECTRIC RAIL SYSTEM

摘要

The invention uses the power of electrical sub-stations (2) that power a network of catenaries (1) and the braking energy that the trains transmit to the network of catenaries (1), for the mass power supply of equipment for charging vehicle batteries (8) from the catenary (1), from an energy storage device (5), or from both, according to the power required by the equipment (8), the power stored in the device (5), and the power of the catenary (1), as long as the catenary power required by the trains is supplied. The invention also enables the device (5) to be charged when the power required by the equipment (8) is less than that of the catenary (1), without affecting the rail service.
