Description du projet
Technologie d’électrification pour les futurs chemins de fer
L’avenir du secteur ferroviaire est associé à des changements importants dans la consommation d’énergie. La tendance consiste à augmenter la capacité, à améliorer la consommation d’énergie, à limiter l’impact environnemental ainsi que les investissements et les coûts opérationnels tout en préservant la sécurité et la qualité des services. Bientôt, les réseaux électriques à courant continu (CC) de tension moyenne soutiendront le développement des énergies renouvelables pour le système de transport. Le projet FUNDRES, financé par l’UE, propose une approche ambitieuse pour l’avenir du secteur ferroviaire sur la base d’un nouveau système d’électrification unifié de 9 kVCC capable de consolider les lignes existantes au cours de la période de transition. L’ambition du projet est d’améliorer de manière significative la technologie de l’énergie pour le futur système unifié.
Objectif
The challenge for the railway sector regarding energy is to increase the capacity while improving the energy consumption and limiting the environmental impacts, and to decrease the investment and exploitation costs, while maintaining safety and service quality. It makes it necessary to rethink railway power supply under future requests, reflecting the status of different systems.
The project FUNDRES presents a deep thinking and related work to define the future of railway, based on new unified Future UNified Dc Railway Electrification System based on 9 kvDC, able to integrate the existing lines during transition period. In the coming years, MVDC power grids will contribute to the deployment of renewable energies and the electrification of transport systems. Compared to classical AC electricity distribution networks, they are generally more energy efficient and facilitate the interconnection of sources, storage elements and loads. In 2018, a new 9 kV DC railway electrification system is presented as an opportunity for railway sector. The ambitions of FUNDRES are to bring substantial improvements in the energy technology area and station for the future unified system based on 9 kVDC. The consortium composed by LAPLACE, EPFL, POLIMI and UIC will develop several scenarios, validated by experimental demonstration at the laboratory level (TRL4). The digital twin offers the possibility to predict the behaviour and the impacts of the proposed unified electrical system based on 9kvDC.
The project outputs will be used to deliver new integrated technology demonstrators and scientific progress for the project IN2STEMPO, and more largely for Shift2Rail, which will be implemented in the railway network.
