In article the issues of electric power imbalance in train traction research are considered, including the method providing an estimation of the contribution of imbalance components to its total value with the possibility of their separation between the participants of the transportation process: the electrification and power supply service, the automatics and telemechanics service, the directorates of locomotive traction and motorized rolling stock. Described method allows in more detail to analyze the factors that affected the change in the components of imbalance and further develop organizational and technical measures to reduce it.

This article presents the rationale for the need to change the methodology for determining the absolute and relative values of energy losses to train traction. It is shown that when determining the relative value of the losses, it is necessary to take into account the amount of recovery energy returned to the contact network by electric rolling stock meters. To increase the accuracy of determining the absolute value of losses, it is necessary to take into account the energy consumption for the needs of the traction power supply system for prophylactic heating and smelting of ice on the wires of the contact network, as well as to ensure uninterrupted voltage on inactive electrified sections of railways. A formula is proposed for estimating the component of electric power losses in the contact network from the flow of energy recovery taking into account changes in the methodology for determining the loses of electric power for train traction.

In this article made a scan of a current situation in electric power measuring on the rolling stock, proposed a concept of Global automatic electric power measuring system for rolling stock, stated technical requirements for modern electric power measuring systems for rolling stock.
