1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for the test and acceptance of simulation tools used for the design of DC electric traction power supply systems for urban rail guided mass transport systems, such as tramways, elevated and underground
railways, mountain railways, trolleybus systems, and magnetically levitated systems
which use a contact line system. The validation process will be carried out for the 750 V DC voltage, and other voltages can be validated
with the cross-acceptance.
This document focuses on the validation of the core simulation functions comprising the equations and functions which calculate:
— the mechanical movement of trains and
— the load flow of the electrical traction power supply system.
NOTE 1 This document provides only the requirements for demonstration of the algorithms and
calculations of core functions. The use of a validated simulation tool in accordance with this document does not in itself, demonstrate good practice in
electric traction power supply system design, neither does it guarantee that the simulation models and data for infrastructure
or trains used in the tool are correct for a given application. The choice and application
of any models and data, of individual system components, in a design is t...
