Influence of technical and site speed on efficiency ofenergy recovery use

The article outlines methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of measures aimed at improving the efficiency of recuperative braking application and the use of energy recovery. An example of calculating the energy efficiency of recuperation on a double-track section of direct current is given. The analysis of the influence of changes in such parameters of the section as technical and district speed of freight trains on the efficiency of energy recovery. The article presents the results of estimating the energy recovery components that form the economic efficiency of recuperation, and describes the approaches to predicting the change in this efficiency, depending on the change in the influencing factors.
