Problem Formulation

The system consists of a tramway supplied by two substations.

The train moves along the line and consumes or regenerates power.

Objectives

We aim to minimize:

  1. Battery capacity (cost proxy)
  2. Maximum voltage drop:
\[\Delta V_{max} = \max_t (V_{sst} - V_{train}(t))\]

Decision Variables

  • Battery capacity
  • Power threshold

Constraints

  • No power feedback to the grid
  • Battery limits (capacity, efficiency)

Approach

  • Simulation-based evaluation
  • Pareto optimization
