Design & development model of solar train

This paper addresses the design and simulation of a control system for a solar powered train. An intelligent control approach is followed aiming at managing the energy consumption such that the train always reaches its destination, never risking a shortage of energy. The whole infrastructure is modeled as a discrete event system, using Petri nets, for which a supervisory controller is designed. The energy management system handles all energy consumption devices onboard the train, namely, solar panels, batteries, sensors and computational devices, in order to ensure that the train ï¬nishes its mission successfully. The system uses a priori information on the topology of the line, e.g., length and slopes, locations of the intermediate stations, dynamics of the train, current solar irradiance and weather forecasting, and passenger weight to determine bounds on the train velocity proï¬le. The whole system was simulated integrating Petri nets in a Matlab/Simulink environment. A discussion on several results obtained is presented in the paper.
