System and method of powering a railway vehicle, converter, control unit, air-conditioner for this system.

摘要

The system has a converter (90) for receiving information from a bi-directional information transmission network (46) between a powering unit (30), and air conditioners. The converter deducts electrical power request of each air conditioner from the information. The request indicates electrical power required by a compressor (52) of the air conditioners to refrigerate and dehumidify air inside a carriage. The converter has a software module (100) for adjusting amplitude and frequency of a three-phase voltage delivered on a powering network with respect to the request sent by the conditioners. An independent claim is also included for a method for powering a railway vehicle.
