ELECTRICAL POWER LOAD PROGRAM

Computer program to calculate power factors and energy consumption rates for a section of electrified railway line. Takes single train characteristics from TPC, combines these with specific traffic pattern to produce overall electrical power load for a period of time - from particular feeder stations established power factors and energy rates. Programmed in Fortran for CDC 6400.
