Coupling of parked trains for common energy supply |
 |
evaluated |
 |
|
|
| Connecting parked trains electrically to facilitate a common energy supply improves the efficiency of heating and lighting during overnight standstill periods in those passenger trains which cannot be easily connected to the regular stationary grid.

Description
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Usually energy supply for parked trains comes from the stationary grid. However, in some cases parked trains are supplied from the catenary for technical or operational reasons with corresponding high conversion losses in transformer and inverter equipment.
In the case of couple parked trains, two trains can be supplied via one pantograph with the electricity necessary for overnight heating by means of a software control tool (e.g. realized and installed on a number of trains by DSB). This eliminates the conversion losses of one of the trains. |
