Summary
This report compares the outputs of Mott MacDonald’s TRAIN simulation package with that of
Network Rail’s Vision OSLO simulator. This comparison is preceded by a basic system examination
of the AC operational aspect of the TRAIN simulator with a simplified model in Matlab.

In this exercise, TRAIN comparisons with Matlab have demonstrated accuracies of less than 0.5%,
while Vision OSLO comparisons (in areas where like-for-like inputs were noted) showed accuracies
of less than 10%.

1 Introduction

Mott MacDonald’s TRAIN program is a PC based modelling package that allows the assessment of
energy and power consumptions in metro, heavy rail and tram systems.
The program is multi-nodal, enabling the behaviour of a number of rolling stock and electrification
system parameters to be modelled, in the assessments of system performance, or the suitability of
system design. The program requires route information (gradients, stations and signals), electrification
system characteristics, train characteristics, and the timetable (or a specified service headway) to
which the service is run.
The simulation calculates the following variables:
• Busbar voltage at feeder stations;
• Maximum and minimum voltage and current profiles along the route;
• Peak current supplied by each distribution transformer at the feeder station;
• RMS currents supplied by each feeder station over various time periods;
• RMS power supplied by each feeder station over various time periods;
• Current through each OCS feeder;
It should be noted that the above list is by no means comprehensive, but rather a good indication of
some of the key variables that is available in the TRAIN program.

The mechanical and dc electrification part of this program has been validated to +/-10% by London
Underground Limited with the use of measured data; the full details of this exercise are documented in
Ref 1.

The dc validation of the TRAIN program has now been endorsed by Network Rail (NR), the public
body with responsibility (as infrastructure controller) for the majority of the railway (over-ground)
infrastructure in Britain. This endorsement was provided (to MM) after a detailed assessment of
TRAIN simulation results on the Southern Region with the equivalent results from Vision-OSLO (the
principal tool employed for power simulation work on NR infrastructure).

To promote TRAIN’s use as a valid tool for modelling AC traction systems and provide evidence to
third parties such as Network Rail of its capability for modelling with accuracy, an exercise has been
carried out with the AC part of the TRAIN program to demonstrate that the results from TRAIN,
correlate acceptably with:

1. ‘basic AC circuit principles’ and


2. Network Rails Vision-OSLO package.

2 Basic Circuit Comparisons

Two basic AC circuits (see figure 1 and 2) have each been modelled in Matlab and in TRAIN for
comparison.
The Matlab™ package is a commercial tool produced by Mathworks for numerical analysis and
design. The underlying algorithms within the package allow easy matrix manipulation and
implementation of algorithms.
For the two circuits in this exercise, the formulation of a numerical solution in Matlab has been carried
out as follows:

a. All trains have been configured with a stationary constant power load of 7.2MW and a power
factor of 0.95; an iterative process that assumes a starting voltage of 25kV at the train and a
no-load voltage of 26.5kV at the Feeder Station was modelled.

b. The above values are then employed in the first iteration that calculates train current(s) and
the equivalent train impedance(s).

c. These values are then used as the base for further calculations to determine the busbar voltage
and its angle, with respect to the source, as well as the train voltage and angle (with respect,
to the source).

d. Once the above steps are complete, a feedback loop is triggered for a second iteration, using
the outputs from the first iteration as input data.

The iterative process (in the Matlab model) is repeated, until the voltage at the pantograph of the train
converges to 0.1% of the no-load voltage. For simplicity; the calculations in iteration 1 of the single
train model has been replicated in Appendix D

2.1.1 Summary of Simulation Results

The comparison of results between TRAIN and Matlab have been carried out with consideration to the
following variables:

• the source current, and associated angle

• the busbar voltage and associated angle (with respect to the source)

• the train voltage(s) and associated angle(s) (with respect to the source)

• the train current(s) and associated angle(s) (with respect to the source)

From the TRAIN program, the numerical results for the above variables are captured (in Appendix C)
as screen-shots. The outputs from this exercise are also available as plots, on request.

It should be noted that, although the calculation of the above variables occur at each time-step in the
TRAIN program, the Matlab program represents only one-time step (of the TRAIN program)
therefore, the use of a constant load (in TRAIN), allows the nearest comparison between the two
packages.

The exact values (for the above variables) in Matlab and in TRAIN are as followed:

3 Vision OSLO Comparisons


The power simulation exercises for Crossrail have presented an opportunity for comparisons of the
outputs of TRAIN with Vision OSLO.
The Vision OSLO simulator has been the tool of choice (for NR) in power simulation modelling. This
package can be traced as far back as the 1970s where earlier versions of this model were employed on
Main frame computers for the design of British Rails' Automatic Route Setting algorithms which later
became a standard part of BR’s Integrated Electronic Control Centres (IECC).

The current version of this package was conceived in 1987 and has been employed in the designs of
almost every upgrade of the 25kV infrastructure in the UK ever since.

The representation of the Crossrail Infrastructure (in TRAIN) has been implemented (as far as
practicable) to mirror the model in OSLO; however, as the original TRAIN model was developed
separately from the OSLO model, with the intention of designing the Traction Power system, using the
most up-to-date information; the following differences have emerged in the two models.

1. With no signalling scheme in place for the Crossrail infrastructure a moving block system has
been used in the TRAIN model, however for the Vision-OSLO model, a fixed block system
has been implemented (based on NR assumptions).

2. The Crossrail alignment for the central section has been implemented in the OSLO model
using alignment J; while the TRAIN model has been implemented with the use of alignment L.
A detailed summary of the inputs to the TRAIN model are provided below.

3.1 Description of TRAIN Model

3.1.1 Train Types and Services

The timetable for the Crossrail service has consisted of approximately 18 individual train types on
differing journeys across the network. These journeys are distributed (between Maidenhead and
Shenfield) over a five and half hour window that commences at 05:30 hours. The lists of train types
that have been modelled have included: the class 92, 313, 315, 321, 221, 253 and 360.

To model the 5MW Crossrail trains, envisaged at the time of the OSLO modelling, for the central
section of the infrastructure, a class 360 train was up-rated from 4MW to 5MW to mirror the model in
Vision OSLO, where the train was configured for a 10-car arrangement.

3.1.2 Resistance to motion

The resistance to motion is given per train through the Davies equation. The coefficients to the Davies
equation for all the train types modelled have been, taken from the OSLO library.

Network Rail Mott MacDonald
25kV Traction Power System Modelling - TRAIN AC Validation Report

3.1.3 Stations and Infrastructure

In total, the system model consisted of forty stations located in numerous locations along the
infrastructure from Maidenhead in the west to Shenfield in the east and Abbeywood in the south-east.
The gradient profiles in the central section have been sourced from the Rail Alignment Report for the
Crossrail scheme (1D300-G0T00-05005/A2).

On the Great Western and Great Eastern Main Lines, the gradient information (on this section of the
network), in the ‘British Rail Gradient Profile’ handbook has been used in the model.

For speed limits, the Rail Alignment Report 1D300-G0T00-05005/A2 has once again provided the
data used in the central section area.

On the Great Western and Great Eastern Mainlines the speed limits information has been taken from
the Sectional Appendixes in NR3001802-03.

3.1.4 Electrical Model

The electrification system simulated consists of thirteen electrical sections fed from eight individual
Feeder Stations. The Major Feeding diagram is provided in Appendix A. The simulation model has
been configured to account for six MPTSCs and eight TSCs. The location of each system and
transformer ratings (for the Feeder Stations) are presented in the tables below, a graphical illustration
of the scheme is provided in Appendix A.

At each of the Feeder stations, the simulation has been configured for a no-load voltage of 26.5kV.

The following source impedance values have been used:

• 0.154 + j4.417 – at Iver; Westbourne Park; Old Oak Common; Bow; Crowlands and Shenfield

• 0.25 + j6.90 – at Hayes

• 0.077 + j4.42 – at Custom House

The source impedance values above have been calculated to ensure that a 6kA fault level is not
exceeded.

The section impedance values on the network were obtained from the NR OSLO library. These values
were provided with the booster transformer impedance value already included.

For this reason the TRAIN simulation model has been configured as a rail return circuit, although this
is representative of a booster transformer system.

3.2 Summary of Simulation Results

A full schedule of results from the TRAIN simulation program is available as an accompaniment to
this report (on request). Extracts of these results are presented in Appendix E.

The results from this exercise which are presented as graphical plots from TRAIN include:

• The 30-minute Rolling RMS Power at every Feeder Station.

• The 1-minutes Rolling RMS Power at every Feeder Station.

• The Instantaneous Power drawn at every Feeder Station

• The 30-minute Rolling RMS Current at every Feeder Station.

• The 1-minutes Rolling RMS Current at every Feeder Station.

• The Instantaneous Current drawn at every Feeder Station

• The Minimum Line Voltage against Chainage Profiles across the infrastructure

Of the numerous outputs listed, the most significant of these for comparisons with the outputs from the
Vision OSLO simulator, have been the Feeder Station Loadings, which are best represented by the
‘30-minute Rolling RMS Power’ for the transformers at the Feeder Stations, and the lowest voltage at
the pantograph, which is shown in the ‘minimum line voltage against chainage’ plots.

4 Findings and Conclusions

4.1 Basic AC Models – Comparisons with Matlab

The results, in section 2.1.1 have demonstrated close correlations between the Matlab model and the
TRAIN model, where comparable results were seen to mirror one another with little to no deviations.

With a convergence tolerance of 0.1% in the Matlab model, the TRAIN program has been shown to
obey the basic principles for AC circuit calculations to an accuracy of within 0.5% of the Matlab
results.

4.2 Substation Loading – Comparisons with OSLO

In general the trends in the loadings at the Feeder Station follow a similar pattern in both the TRAIN
and OSLO results (see figure 4).

The areas where the results vary the most is at Hayes FS, Old Oak Common FS and Westbourne Park
FS. At these sites:

The variances in the results are attributed to the differences in input data, for the two
models. This is especially the case for Old Oak Common (OOC) and Westbourne Park
(WBP), where the impact of having two separate signalling systems and two different
gradient profiles, is most evident; from a summation of the loads.

This summation (of 11.8MVA for OOC and 21.07MVA for WBP) results in a value of
32.8MVA (for Vision OSLO) and the equivalent results of 15.78MVA for OOC and
16.81MVA for WBP produces a result of 32.6MVA for TRAIN.

This simple comparison shows that although the two Feeder Stations experience a different
share of the load (in the two models), the loads are still the same when combined; which
suggests that the positioning of the trains are different due to the difference in the signalling
systems and also the difference in gradient.

This difference, in the positioning of the trains for the two models is also seen as a factor
for the disparity (between TRAIN and OSLO) at Hayes Feeder Station.

The areas where the results vary the least is at Crowlands F1 & F2 and Shenfield FS.

The close correlations between the results at these sites are once again attributed to the
input data.
As most of the infrastructure on the Great Eastern is existing, and will remain unaltered for
the Crossrail project (especially gradients); the MM model in TRAIN would be exactly the
same as the OSLO model.
This assertion is supported by the close correlations, in results at Crowlands FS (F1 and
F2) and Shenfield FS.

4.3 Minimum Line Voltage Profile – Comparisons with OSLO

The trend for the Minimum Line Voltage results, in both TRAIN and OSLO show good correlations to
one another with variations of less than 10% in results, even when the signalling systems and track
alignments are not identical.

4.4 General Comparisons

The comparisons of TRAIN with the equivalent models in Matlab and in Vision OSLO have produced
good correlations that endorse the use of TRAIN as a valid and accurate tool for AC Simulation
modelling.

Although the comparisons with the OSLO model, produced disparities in certain locations; in the areas
where the input data for the infrastructure were at the closest; the correlations were most evident.

All of this is reinforced by the Matlab models, which use the same parameters as TRAIN and produce
comparable results to within 0.5%.

It is concluded from this exercise that train is as acceptable as Vision OSLO for AC Power Simulation
modelling.
