How energy is distributed in a tram?
Does driving trams Murcia is energy efficient?
Is it possible to adopt new measures for greater energy efficiency in these vehicles?
They could braking advantage further as momentum for these vehicles?
The answers to these questions the hopes to resolve the Final Project (TFG) student of Electrical Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) Teruel Joaquin Perez, who has conducted a field study on energy consumption in trams city ​​of Murcia.
Research student, who spent a year in internship maintenance service Murcia tram under the responsibility of Garrigosa and Santiago Ramon Molina, provides a solution to quantify the energy consumption of each individual trolley.
"So far the company only knew consumption for all vehicles serving in the tram system," says the student.
"The study will assess improvements in driving efficiency," says one of the co-directors of TFG, Francisco Ortiz.
"And it raises the possibility of reusing the energy dissipated during braking a tram to drive to another that is at its height, or to accumulate the energy or return to the grid," adds the codirector also Angel Molina.
The TFG is now in phase interpretation of the data and waiting for another field test to measure in real time the daily consumption of a tram.
"Design and configure data collection was a big challenge.
Until then I did not know what it means to work as an engineer, "she admits the student, 24-year-old from Javalí Viejo.
The experience and versatility gained over a GFR which forced him to combine his training with new knowledge Electricity Electronics and Computer Joaquin has earned him to get his first contract even before finishing the race.
Through the Employment of the School of Industrial UPCT it has been signed for Electromedical Business Group (GEE).
"We interested to know of electrical signals, your treatment with electronic scanning equipment and software by" he explains.
