Resumen:
This document specifies requirements for the acceptance of
simulation tools used for the assessment of design of electric
traction power supply systems with respect to TSI Energy. This
document is applicable to the simulation of AC and DC electric
traction power supply systems, in the frame of assessment required
by Directive (EU) 2016/797. The methods and parameters defined in
this document are only intended for use in the design of the
electric traction power supply system, and hence this document
solely considers validation of tools within the TSI energy
subsystem for all envisaged railway networks. This document does
not deal with validation of simulation tools by measurement. This
document focuses on the core simulation functions comprising the
equations and functions which calculate the mechanical movement of
trains and also which calculate the load flow of the electrical
traction power supply system. In doing so this document provides
all requirements necessary to demonstrate that a simulation tool
may be used for the purposes of TSI approval of electric traction
power supply systems. Any simulation tool which meets the
acceptance requirements of the test cases in this document can be
used to determine TSI compatibility for all systems of the same
voltage and frequency without any requirement for further
validation as part of the TSI assessment process. This document
includes controls for the modification of simulation tools, in
particular the limits of applicability of certification when tools
are modified. These controls focus on determining whether the core
functions of the simulation model are modified. This document
provides only the requirements for demonstration of the algorithms
and calculations of core functions. The use of a certified
simulation tool in accordance with this document does not, in
itself, demonstrate good practice in electric traction power supply
system design, neither does it guarantee that the simulation models
and data for infrastructure or trains used in the tool are correct
for a given application. The choice and application of any models
and data, of individual system components, in a design is therefore
subject to additional verification processes and not in the Scope
of this document. Competent development of design models and full
understanding of the limits of design tools remain requirements in
any system design. This document does not reduce any element of the
need for competent designers to lead the design process. The test
cases and data shown in Clause 6 in this document do not represent
an existing network, but these data are used as theoretical/virtual
network only for the purpose of verification of the core
functionality. NOTE A new test case will be drafted considering
metro, tramways and trolleybuses using DC 600 V or DC 750 V. Until
this test case is available, this document can also be applied to
subway, tram and trolley bus systems. This test case will also
integrate rail systems using DC 750 V. Additionally, the
application of this document ensures that the output data of
different simulation tools are consistent when they are using the
same set of input data listed in Clause 6. This document only
applies to the simulation of electric traction power supply systems
characteristics at their nominal frequency for AC or DC systems. It
does not consider harmonic studies, electrical safety studies (e.g.
rail potential), short circuit or electromagnetic compatibility
studies over a wide frequency spectrum. This document does not
mandate the use of a particular simulation tool in order to
validate the design of an electric traction power supply system.
This document does not consider complex models with active
components such as static frequency convertors.
