Power flow in DC traction systems considering the embedded model of the trains and their control

Railways traction networks have been subjected to intensive research in recent decades as the train networks as well as the electric traction system have becoming more and more complex and demanding. Modelling and simulating is always an important step for planning and operating the system. While the study of electric power flow is a key part in such process, it still needs a proper train simulator to be coupled with. In this paper the train mechanical model as well as its control will be implemented and coupled with an electrical simulator to study the impact of the train over the DC traction feeding system.
