Attention to the energy efficiency of railway systems is ever increasing. The research in this paper, based on the activities of the TESYS Rail Project, deals with optimization of railway energy consumptions to increase the efficiency of the system, the use of energy storage devices in different operating scenarios, involving different train typologies. For this purpose, the authors developed an design, simulation and optimization tool, useful also in real time applications. approach proposed in this paper (based on the analysis of the interactions the vehicle longitudinal dynamics and the electrical line), characterized by a numerical efficiency, has been experimentally validated considering as a test case Italian high speed train ETR 1000 and used to investigate the feasibility of energy devices in High Speed railway systems.
