Introduction to problems Traction current systems from viewpoint of power engineering Payments for electrical energy under condition Czech Republic Energy calculation methods and of energy intensity and energy consumption Traction energy consumption Operating effects on specific energy consumption Power line, transmission line, feeding line and catenary Voltage ratios in power supply system. Temperature rise of electrical devices and catenary Short-circuit ration at power supply systems Electric railways capacity Other energy consumption Excursion Time reserve, learning up

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with problems of rail transport power engineering, in particular traction systems and driving vehicles from viewpoint of power engineering. During course students are also familiarize with methods for calculation of energy intensity, energy consumption and operating effects on energy consumption.
After passing out this course student earns knowledge of Power Engineering of Rail Transport and he is able to apply it.
Prerequisites
It is assumed that the student is already familiar with knowledge about electrical devices.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

During the winter half and at the final exam student has to prove understanding solved problems. The teacher imparts specific requests in the first semester's week.
