In their present state, railways across the world use signalling systems based on principles derived from the Victorian era. With these come a raft of difficulties due to the limitations of such systems, which ultimately result in delays on the railways. The European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) is an effort to overcome these issues with a single standardised in cab signalling system implemented across Europe. Being developed by a consortium of companies, this would be one of the largest developments in railway systems since the 19th century. A key aspect of the system is the ability of an individual train to monitor its own speed and displacement relative to a number of target locations. With this the train must generate a set of braking curves to ensure its safe operation. Throughout this work, the ERTMS is explored in more detail with the aim of gaining a better understanding of what is involved. More specifically, the braking curves will be fully investigated and modelled in the MATLAB and Simulink environment, leading to the development of a robust model for analysing a train’s interactions along a length of railway.]]>

This paper analyses the design of a 3 kW isolated bidirectional ac to dc converter for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This is an increasingly popular solution to overcome the differences seen in electricity supply and demand introduced by renewable energy sources. In order to connect these systems to the grid an ac to dc converter is required. In this paper a converter is considered to interface a 300 V battery bank to the grid at 110 V, 60 Hz ac. A dual active bridge is implemented with a 100 kHz transformer. Control systems for the converter are also considered allowing autonomous regulation of the power flow to and from the storage. This paper was written as part of the ELEC 497 Research Project while I was studying at Queen's University, Ontario.]]>
