DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF DIESEL-ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF NEW AND CONVENTIONAL SOLUTIONS BY SIMULATION

Conventional transmission techniques are compared with the electronic control method proposed by the author. Comparative studies of dynamic characteristics covered traction motor field shunting, sudden load variations and axle slipping tests. All factors which are essential for evaluation of the system were followed closely during the study (the generator current and voltage, angular velocity of the diesel engine and of a traction motor, i.e. the locomotive speed).
