Element propulsion
Description
The element propulsion contains all data for the propulsion system of motive power related to a particular supply system, i.e. for each supply system including diesel a separate instance of propulsion is needed. The structure of its sub-elements conforms to the structure find on locos.
Das Element propulsion beinhaltet mit seinen Unterelementen alle Angaben zum Antriebssystem eines Triebfahrzeugs bezüglich eines Stromversorgungssystems. Somit wird für jede Speisevariante, einschließlich Dieselantrieb, eine Instanz dieses Elements benötigt. Die Unterelemente spiegeln die Struktur eines Antriebssystem von der Energieentnahme bis zur Umwandlung in Bewegungsenergie im Fahrmotor wieder. Dabei sind unterschiedliche Detailgrade möglich. Zum einen kann der Antrieb sehr detailliert oder nur mit seinem 'Klemmenverhalten' als Black-box beschrieben werden. Der Nutzer muss deshalb dafür sorgen, dass sich die Daten der unterschiedlichen Abstraktionsebenen nicht widersprechen.

attributes
- voltage
- This is the nominal voltage of the propulsion system in Volts for which it is designed for, i.e. the supply voltage at the contact line or third rail.
- frequency
- This is the nominal frequency of the propulsion system in Hertz for which it is designed for, i.e. the supply system frequency at the contact line or third rail. For DC systems the frequency shall be set to '0'.
- power
- This is the installed power of the vehicle for this supply system in Watts.
- powerType
- This is the principal type of propulsion system. It can be one out of 'electric', 'diesel', 'steam' or 'other'.
- transmission
- This is the principal type of power transmission. It can be one out of 'electric', 'hydraulic', 'mechanical' or 'other'. This is mainly of interest for diesel cars.
- maxTractEffort
- This is the maximum tractive effort achievable at the wheels by the propulsion system given in Newton. This value is to be used in conjunction with the element tractiveEffort.
- rotMassFactor
- This is the factor of increased running resistance due to the rotating masses of the propulsion system and the wheels. It shall be given for the entire vehicle even including any non-driven axles.
- rackTraction
- This is a flag, whether the vehicle comprises equipment for use on rack railways. The particular type of rack rail system is not included here.
- remoteControl
- This is a flag, whether the vehicle can be remotely controlled, i.e. by radio or train lines from a driving trailer van. The particular type of remote control is not included here.
- numNotches
- This is the number of notches the propulsion system switch gear comprises in order to control the vehicle speed. This value is only needed for old-fashioned systems using mechanical switch gear for adjusting traction motor voltage.
- wheelDiameter
- This is the nominal value of wheel diameter of the driven axles given in metres.
- maxBrakeEffort
- This is the maximum brake effort achievable at the wheels by the propulsion system given in Newton. This value is to be used in conjunction with the element brakeEffort.
- maxBrakePower
- This is the maximum power in watts provided by the propulsion system for regenerative braking. This value is to be used in conjunction with the element brakeCurrent.
- totalTractEfficiency
- This is the mean efficiency of the complete propulsion system in traction mode. This value is to be used in conjunction with the element tractiveVehicleEfficiency.
- totalBrakeEfficiency
- This is the mean efficiency of the complete propulsion system in braking mode. This value is to be used in conjunction with the element brakeVehicleEfficiency.
- tractionOffUndervoltageThreshold
- This is the threshold value in Volts for the propulsion system to be switched off when the supply voltage at the pantograph is below this value.
- zeroSpeedCurrentLimitation
- This is the net current limit in Ampere for the propulsion system at zero speed.
- maxRegenerativeVoltage
- This is the maximum allowed voltage at pantograph in Volts during regenerative braking.
