Best of reversible DC substation Context

Transport Authorities and their suppliers today seek Energy Efficiencies as a contribution to both: Their overall business performance Their identity as modern & responsible public service organisations This presentation is about the original design and validation of a reversible DC substation conceived by ALSTOM and shared with Railenergy Trackside works: - It is one of several ALSTOM solutions developed to address customer demand for superior energy management capability in public transport. - It is also the fruit of initiatives and research work that go back to a time before Sustainable Development became fashionable.

Best of reversible DC substation Conclusion & outlook

Energy saving targets were reached, and sensitivity analysis was carried out confirming the great potential of reversible substations for energy savings, Validation by LCC analysis and Technical Assessment Report were done, A TecRec (UIC-UNIFE Technical Recommendation) on reversible substation is under progress for future integration into CENELEC standards, An industrial plan is being built on ALSTOM side for 1500V and 3000V DC substation, to be Free for tender after validation of a full scale substation on a railway network.
