In an embodiment, the processor 312 of network planner system 300 is configured to and one or more electric motor cars 200 Stroke planner system 218 (shown in Fig. 2) on (shown in Fig. 2) communicates to control the movement of electric motor car 200, so that The electrical energy demands of electric motor car 200 is less than the available electrical energy on electrical network.On the one hand, the processor 312 of network control system 300 Control the movement of electric motor car 200, can be along stroke once or many by the upper each electric motor car 200 of distribution network 100 (shown in Fig. 1) The secondary electric energy maximum that can consume.The movement of electric motor car 200 can be controlled, because stroke planner system 218 must set Stroke plan, it is not necessary to more than the maximum power of distribution.The maximum power distributing to each electric motor car 200 can be based at electricity The online available power monitored in this moment, this moment is traveling in the quantity of the electric motor car 200 of network 100, and/or passes through network Planner system 300 receives, by the single stroke counter of each vehicle 200 that one or more processors 312 process Draw and energy application plan determines.Determine maximum power, so that consume all electric motor cars specifying maximum power 200 in this moment not over electrical network ability.

Such as, by there is the Vehicular system 108 (shown in Fig. 1) of one or more electric motor car 200 (shown in Fig. 2) at network During the plan of the stroke on 100 (shown in Fig. 1), processor 312 controls communication system 302 and thinks that stroke sends Vehicular system The utilisable energy of 108.Utilisable energy can quantity based on the Vehicular system 108 on network 100 of advancing and/or its energy make Determine with plan.In an embodiment, all Vehicular systems 108 are allocated identical electric flux at synchronization.Therefore, if Electrical network ability is 100MW, and has 25 Vehicular systems 108 to advance on network 100, and each Vehicular system is by the maximum electricity of distribution Energy is not more than 4MW.

Selectively, in a further embodiment, the processor 312 of network planner system 300 dynamically distributes maximum Power consumption, its can stroke plan/energy application plan based on the vehicle 200 received and different.Such as, if Moment X+5, the stroke plan of the first Vehicular system has fortune 10, first vehicle climbing slope of 000 ton of coal, the first vehicle system The electric motor car of system generally will be advanced along smooth or descending than it at moment X+5 or is possibly even the second car in terminal stopping System is needing bigger electric energy mutually in the same time.So, the processor 312 of network planner system 300 dynamically allocates The electric flux that first Vehicular system has is bigger than the amount that the second Vehicular system distributes in the X+5 moment.Therefore, each electricity is distributed to The electric flux of motor-car 200 may be not equal to the amount of all electric motor cars 200 being traveling on network.It addition, the electricity of distribution can base Changing in the time, such as, at time X+10, the second Vehicular system may be allocated the electric flux bigger than the first Vehicular system. Therefore, by monitoring stroke plan and energy application plan, network planner system 300 can provide the electric flux of distribution to vehicle 200, it is adapted to the specific travel conditions of vehicle 200.

In an embodiment, the electric motor car advanced on network 100 can pass through network meter at the electricity that the concrete time distributes The processor 312 drawing device system 300 proposes in the works in network energy consumption.Network energy consumption plan can provide above-mentioned dividing Join energy information.Such as, energy expenditure plan can consume parameter with single electric motor car 200 AC energy on network 100, To be assigned to each vehicle 200 of the maximum electricity of each vehicle 200 (such as vehicle at each time announcement during stroke Controller or operator).Preferably, network energy consumption plan may also include the whole time period about the letter estimating electrical network ability Breath, and at this anticipated energy requirement of time period vehicle 200.The processor 312 of network planner system 300 can be configured to Display network energy consumption plan is form or each chart and figure to the user near network planner system 300 or passes through Network (such as the Internet) is supplied to long-distance user.Because network planner system 300 can be configured to receive the reality of monitoring information Shi Gengxin, network energy consumption plan may be additionally configured to automatically update constantly or periodically to show up-to-date as about net The information of network capacity and actual energy requirement.

In an embodiment, new electric motor car 200, by the stroke being traveling in network 100, is handed over network planner system 300 Flow these contents, and processor 312 controls communication system 302 responsively to transmit the energy of stroke distribution.The energy of stroke distribution Amount can be deducted known to accumulation electronic in the stroke of network 100 of identical time by the available electrical energy on electrical network The energy requirement of car 200 and determine.Such as, it is not provided that enough energy are to new electricity by this electric flux determining distribution Motor-car 200 with meet its at stroke trip objective the most substantially, processor 312 may recalculate the electric flux of distribution to All vehicles 200, to reduce the energy requirement of accumulation to adapt to the additional new electric motor car 200 that will advance on network 100. The distribution replanned can consume record in the works at the network energy updated.Therefore, in an embodiment, network meter in each period Drawing device system 300 and receive one or more new stroke plan, processor 312 can be revised and distribute to other before and be traveling in network The electric flux of the vehicle 200 on 100, to adapt to the electric motor car 200 added, thus prevents electrical energy demands from exceeding electrical network ability.

It addition, the processor 312 of network planner system 300 can be configured to each period, vehicle 200 is made similar Amendment be that the vehicle 200 advanced on network 100 forms stroke to complete its stroke on network and/or each period Pre-planned.Stroke is pre-planned is the stroke plan updated, and it can be based on each condition, if desired for the stroke replanned Or the calculating of mistake, it causes coarse stroke plan and/or energy application plan.Even, processor 312 may amendment car The energy of the distribution of 200, as long as calculated anticipated energy demand exceedes the threshold value available power on electrical network.Such as, Vehicle 200 in the network 100 of currently advancing can receive real-time update and avoid, to limit power consumption, electrical network ability of overdrawing. The various amendments can made network planner system 300 and/or stroke planner system 218 (shown in Fig. 2) are next being entered Row describes in detail.

Fig. 4 is the chart 400 being shown in network power motor-car through energy application plan after a period of time.Electric motor car can To be electric motor car 200 (shown in Fig. 2), and network can be the network 100 (shown in equal Fig. 2) of route 102.Graph making is energy Relative to the time, (e.g., P=E/t, the quantity of power wherein consumed is equal to the face of curve to there is shown the power consumption of vehicle 200 Long-pending).Time shaft is marked with t₁, t₂, t₃Deng, although coordinate is symbolistic, as minute or hour, including minute or hour group (as t₂Can be t₁After 30 minutes).Energy axes is marked with E₁, E₂, E₃Deng, although coordinate is symbolistic, such as kilojoule or million Jiao, bag Include the group of kilojoule or million Jiao (such as E₁Can be 10,000,000 burnt and E₂Can be 20,000,000 Jiao).In graph 400, four energy make to use tricks Draw and be plotted as 402,404,406, and 408.The expection energy of each energy application plan express time section uses, and it is used for The single Vehicular system including one or more electric motor car 200 being traveling on network in stroke in during the shown time. Such as, each energy application plan 402-408 can respectively with the Vehicular system 109 shown in Fig. 1, one of 110,111, and 112 phases Corresponding.Energy application plan can be as the part calculating of stroke plan.

As shown in chart 400, energy application plan is not identical, and it is with stroke timetable, vehicle structure, route, Moving characteristic changes at the electric flux of different time needs with similar impact.Such as, at time t₁, only by energy The Vehicular system that application plan 402 and 406 represents is actively to need energy from electrical network, and this may represent makes to use tricks by energy The vehicle drawing 404 and 408 expressions does not starts their planned routes.At time t₃, energy application plan 402 is anticipated the highest Energy requirement, followed by plans 404, plans 408, is finally plan 406.Energy application plan 402 may than other plan relatively High energy uses, because such as, Vehicular system structure includes that electric motor car 200 tows the load with maximum weight, its requirement Bigger power advances.Such as, energy application plan 402 can be the train of fortune coal, has long more than one mile, and energy makes Can be the rail vehicles for transporting passengers of the passenger car with 15 or less with plan 408.In other embodiments, by plan 402 time Between t₃The route allocation of the Vehicular system around represented can have Vehicular system, and it is climbing slope, can explain needs more Big power.It addition, the higher energy requirement of plan 402 can represent that Vehicular system is with higher than other Vehicular system Speed advance, for tighter timetable.Even if along an energy application plan, described energy requirement can enter in time Row regulation.Such as, energy requirement can reduce based on following situation, reduces to relatively low speed, advances (or slope tailing edge along descending Flat road surface) and/or use alternative energy source such as regenerative braking or diesel powered vehicles to replace at least partly needing to drive vehicle The electric energy of system.

In an embodiment, energy application plan communicates with network planner system 300 (shown in Fig. 3), and network meter Draw the processor 312 rendered energy application plan of device system 300 and determine the expected energy demand 410 of Vehicular system on network. Expected energy demand 410 can by collect or energy requirement that each electric motor car of suing for peace is each and calculate, as made to use tricks at energy Described in Huaing.Expected energy demand 410 is plotted on chart 400 and the available quantity 412 of the also electric energy on electrical network.Available Electricity 412 can be detected by the power network monitoring equipment 306 of network planner system 300.If detection on electrical network The available quantity 412 of electric energy is relatively fixed, and it can suitably be drawn by the processor 312 of network planner system 300 will be at figure in the future Keep fixing (such as energy line E in time period shown in 400₁₀).Fig. 4 illustrates the process by network planner system 300 The process step that device 312 is carried out, but chart 400 or similar chart preferably show the behaviour in network planner system 300 To observe on the display of author.

As shown in the chart 400 of Fig. 4, at time t₂To t₄, and at t₆After, it is contemplated that energy requirement 410 exceedes electrical network and powers on The available quantity 412 of energy.If the electric motor car on network actual draws these power levels in these moment, exist for electrical network of overdrawing Danger, underpower and/or vehicle can be caused to stop.

Fig. 5 is according to the expression energy application plan 402408 of network power motor-car within a period of time shown in embodiment Chart 500.Chart 500 illustrates that the energy application plan 402408 identical with chart 400 and anticipated energy use 410.? In embodiment, the available quantity 502 of the electric energy on electrical network is not fixed value, and is fluctuation in time.Such as, the energy does not produces Raw fixing is supplied to electrical network with identical electric energy.In other embodiments, electrical network is not the network lattice closed, and it only supplies electric energy To the electric motor car on network.Electric energy on electrical network can be used for driving other to load, such as domestic, commercial and industrial, etc., separately At All Other Times, driving electric motor car and other load can the more electric energy of demand for external special time ratio.Such as, on electrical network The available quantity 502 of electric energy can use the time to reduce at the peak energy of every day, then uses the time to increase in off peak.Cause This, as shown in chart 500, the available quantity 502 of electric energy can in time process at E₁₀Fluctuate up and down.Therefore, with the chart of Fig. 4 400 compare, and the expected energy in chart 500 uses quickly (as at t₂Exceed the available quantity 502 of electric energy before), but time Between t₅And t₆There is also more electric energy available quantity.

Fig. 6 is the chart 600 of the energy application plan 402-408 illustrating the Fig. 4 according to embodiment amendment.Referring again to Fig. 4, From time t₂To t₄, and at t₆After, it is contemplated that energy requirement 410 exceedes the available electrical energy 412 on electrical network, and it may overdraw electrical network Ability.Correspondingly, the processor 312 of network planner system 300 (shown in Fig. 3) can be configured to revise one or more traveling The energy application plan of the electric motor car on network, to reduce anticipated electrical energy demands under available electrical energy threshold value 412.Pass through At least one route that change selects, the timetable of stroke, vehicle structure, and moving characteristic, network planner system 300 Processor 312 can revise the energy application plan of planned routes.It should be noted that, listed stroke characteristic is typically described in Stroke is in the works.Accordingly, it is capable to application plan can be modified by amendment stroke plan, affect the energy in stroke and use Mode.

Such as, in figure 6 by changing the timetable amendment energy application plan 408 of stroke.More specifically, replace time Between t₂Starting stroke, stroke is moved forwardly at t₀Start, and terminal is at t earlier₄Rather than t₆.When setting out except changing Between, the profile of energy application plan 408 is not revised, it is meant that during stroke, energy uses and keeps identical.By plan 408 The reason changing stroke initial time represented is to utilize time t₀And t₂Between the utilisable energy not used on electrical network (region as under curve 412 and on curve 410), as shown in the chart 400 of Fig. 4, reduces time t simultaneously₃Around The electric energy that will use.

Energy application plan 402 is revised in the chart 600 of Fig. 6.The energy application plan of amendment in chart 600 402 from time t₀To t₄Need the less electric energy from electrical network, the original plan 402 shown in chart 400 compared to Fig. 4. Reduce electrical energy demands can be accomplished in several ways.Such as, at time t₀And t₁, electric motor car can use according to the energy of amendment Plan 402, uses less energy to advance with relatively low speed.Selectively, or other, and vehicle structure can also be repaiied Changing, Vehicular system uses the electric motor car of less or bigger fuel efficiency, and the quantity of wagon box and type can change to reduce weight Amount, and/or vehicle layout can be revised, as changed the spacing of electric motor car relative to other vehicle.At t₁, in order to accelerate or tiltedly Keeping identical speed on slope, and do not increase electrical energy demands, such as, the plan 402 of amendment may need less electric energy, by depending on Rely other power supply.One possible power supply can drive the one or more diesel powered vehicles in Vehicular system to provide and lead Gravitation, to replace the energy requirement of some or all of electric motor car.Therefore, at time t₁And t₃, such as, Vehicular system can actual disappear Consuming identical or more net energy to meet operational requirements, although by the use of other energy, electrical energy demands can greatly subtract Few.Other alternative energy source can be the electric energy using storage, such as the electric energy generated by regenerative braking, and is stored in Vehicular system In electrical energy storage in electric energy.Use alternative energy source can reduce expected energy demand 410 to meet power demand.
