Optional Modules

TrainsRunner Optional Modules

The TrainsRunner simulator allows calculating the short circuit current in steady state conditions for both AC and DC systems:

  • Current in the short circuit branch,
  • Output current of each ESS,
  • Current flowing in each Feeder and in each network branch,
  • Rail potential to earth,

as function of:

  • the short circuit Position along the line,
  • the status of Electrical Substations equipment (in service/out of service),
  • the Breakers status (open/close),
  • the arc resistance and/or the arc voltage.

The full characteristic (voltage vs current) of DC electrical substations must be provided.

The following software modules are available with the last release of the TrainsRunner software:

  • Way side energy storage system.
  • Automatic run of a sequence of simulations, changing, on request, the up and down train synchronization.
  • Model of a simplified signaling system: fixed and moving line block, interlocking.
  • Simulation results as both Open Office file for Microsoft Excel and as Microsoft SQL Local Database.
  • On board energy storage systems
