Electrified Transportation Sujeet Mishra, IRSEE sujeet@sujeet.org @sujeetmishra
Few Quick Points Electricity is transportation is almost as old as electricity In modern context, for a developing economy like ours, full spectrum is available-land, air, water without much legacy overhang-new for every economy What is new: solutions for air and water-but they are emerging and not yet mainstream EVs, will be possibly mainstreamed in freight and fleets Trains & E-Rickshaws lead Geographical spread needs massive investments and strengthening of grid
Few Quick Points NMEM the first structured government s policy intervention But path breaking tech promotion missions like NaMPET can t be ignored Need to have urban mobility rethink as that is the ticking bomb for us Map commonalities, overlapping technology We missed out on IC Engine, can t afford to miss on EVs NaMPET rebooted?
Tech Residency NMEM the first structured government s policy intervention But path breaking tech promotion missions like NaMPET can t be ignored Need to have urban mobility rethink as that is the ticking bomb for us Map commonalities, overlapping technology We missed out on IC Engine, can t afford to miss on EVs NaMPET rebooted?
Deployment Fleet approach Get corridors for grid taps and strengthening Controlled introduction yet faster, sustaining impact Can think of battery swap like horse swap for carriages in past Virtual RoW: Dedicated corridor and evolve to smart highways Bring Trolley Bus approach as stepping stone in urban mobility planning
Regenerating to Grid Technology Induction DC Metros: Ahmedabad has included as part of spec We expect Bangalore Phase II to have this feature Other DC Metros being: Gurgaon, Vijayawada, Kochi

The Only Structured Response MERLIN Sustainable & Intelligent Management of Energy for Smarter Railway Systems in Europe: An Integrated Optimisation Approach
Electricity in Rail Traction As old as electricity All major networks in world are electrified Notable exceptions exist-largely historical reasons So, what s new?
MERLIN Improved design of railway distribution networks and electrical systems and their interfaces Better understanding of the influence of railway operations and procedures on energy demand Identification of energy usage optimising
MERLIN Improved traction energy supply Understanding of the cross-dependencies between technological solutions Improving cost effectiveness of the overall railway system Contribution to European standardisation
Why a Rethink? Electrification infrastructure which links grid to vehicle has very limited controllability Requirement of oversizing Requirement of augmentation Nations seek to address: How to reduce carbon footprint of transport
How TrD Net Would Look in India IEEE Electrification Magazine / Sep 2014
Smart Train Driving (STD) Objective of the STD can be very diverse: Minimising the energy consumption Adapting the train consumption to the capacity of the infrastructure in a specific area Reducing the cost of the electricity IEEE Electrification Magazine / Sep 2014
Points of Intervention Scheduling: Largely static process Similar to day-ahead planning for matching load-demand and transmission corridor capacity Ecodriving: Dynamic Challenge of optimising single train vis-a-vis network
Power Required: for same run as a function of driving IEEE Electrification Magazine / Sep 2014
Intervention Levels IEEE Electrification Magazine / Sep 2014
Train as a Load Spatio-Temporal Load Modulation of: Traction Power Hotel Load Largely Constant Amenable to Demand Management as in Smart Grids
Day-Ahead Planning Timetabled passenger trains Freight trains being received at each interchange point Knowns: Loco characteristics Load characteristics Track profile
Output Control charting with optimised run profile generated as template Energy forecast for day-ahead need Input for driver s driving strategy Possibility of dynamic corrections
