DESCRIPTION:Energy and environmental sustainability in transportation are 
 becoming ever more critical. Electrified railway systems play an essential
  role in contributing to reducing energy usage and CO2 emissions compared 
 with other transport modes. This presentation will introduce the developme
 nt of railway electrification\, a multi-train traction power network model
 ling method\, and energy optimisation technologies of train driving and re
 newable integration technologies.\n\nThe modern trains are implemented wit
 h regenerating braking mode\, which allows the braking energy to be regene
 rated as electricity and used by the trains or fed back to the electrical 
 network. The railway energy flow includes the energy supplied from the sub
 stations\, the energy wasted in the power transmission network\, the energ
 y used by the train in traction\, and that regenerated by braking trains. 
 By evaluating the railway energy systems\, it has been found that railway 
 energy consumption can be reduced by optimising train driving controls\, t
 rain operation timetables\, and power supply infrastructure. Dr Zhongbei T
 ian will present some projects and outcomes in railway energy optimisation
