Energy-management guidelines for rail-transit systems. Volume 2. Final report, 9 July 1984-30 October 1986
The Energy Management Guidelines Manual is organized into two separate volumes and an executive summary. Volume II contains the methodologies, analyses techniques and strategies, which can be used to achieve the goals of increased energy efficiency and lower energy cost. Examples of the application of these techniques and strategies are also included. Section 1.0 deals with energy-conservation strategies for reducing energy consumption. The role that modification of the power-rate structure plays, through rate negotiations/intervention, is discussed in Section 2.0. Section 3.0 addresses the topic of load management, which can reduce power demand, thus lowering the demand component of the electric bill. Section 4.0 presents a description of the Energy Management Model (EMM) which is a tool used to simulate traction operation and its resultant energy consumption on a rail-transit system. Section 5.0 discusses the methodologies and analytical tools necessary to conduct an energy audit on a rail transit system. The audit is an important step in identifying opportunities for energy-cost reduction.
