Electric Rails
ስለዚህ ኢ-መጽሐፍ
Bridging electrical and mechanical engineering, the book argues that modern advancements in rail electrification are key to boosting train efficiency and cutting the carbon footprint of transportation networks.
It emphasizes how strategic implementation of high-voltage systems, combined with power electronics innovations, can significantly enhance the reliability of electric trains.
Intriguingly, high-voltage rail systems trace back over a century, and their evolution from DC to AC networks highlights continuous improvements in power transmission.
The book progresses logically, starting with electric traction principles and power transmission basics, then systematically analyzing high-voltage rail system components like substations and rolling stock.
Design considerations, such as insulation coordination, are detailed, followed by real-world case studies.
It uniquely combines theoretical analysis, experimental data, and performance metrics from global high-speed rail networks to underscore its points.
This evidence-based approach aims to provide engineers, policymakers, and students a thorough understanding of how to optimize rail systems for a sustainable future.
