Abstract
As mentioned in Chap. 1, regenerative braking is an energy recovery mechanism used in subway systems to recover the traction energy during braking into electricity. In order to maximize the regenerative energy utilization, Yang et al. [1] presented a timetable optimization approach to coordinate the arrivals and departures of all trains located in the same electricity supply interval so that the energy regenerated from braking trains can be more effectively utilized to accelerate trains. Based on the literature [1], this chapter aims to enhance the regenerative energy utilization by making minor adjustments of the dwell times to the current timetable while using the real-world speed profiles and keeping the cycle time and the number of trains unchanged. We mainly focus on the following three questions: (1) How to measure the regenerative energy using kinetic equations? (2) How to coordinate all trains located in the same electricity supply interval? (3) How to formulate the timetabling model with regenerative energy maximization?
