Specification and verification of energy consumption for railway rolling stock

The main purpose of this standard is the support of rolling stock procurement, especially in light of life cycle cost (LCC) assessment.
This European Standard is applicable to the specification and verification of energy consumption of railway rolling stock. It establishes a criterion for the energy consumption of rolling stock to calculate the total net energy consumed, either at current collector or from the fuel tank, over a predefined service profile, in order to assure that the results are directly comparable or representative of the real operation of the train. For this purpose, this document takes into account the energy consumed and regenerated by the rolling stock.
This European Standard provides the framework that gives guidance on the generation of comparable energy performance values for trains and locomotives on a common basis and thereby supports benchmarking and improvement of the energy efficiency of rail vehicles.
This European Standard does not cover specification for comparison of energy consumption with other modes of transportation, or even for comparison between diesel and electric traction, covering only the energy consumption of the railway rolling stock itself.

Spezifikation und Überprüfung des Energieverbrauchs von Schienenfahrzeugen

Spécification et vérification de la consommation d’énergie pour le matériel roulant ferroviaire

L'objectif principal de la présente norme est l'appui à l'acquisition de matériel roulant, en particulier à la lumière d'une évaluation du coût du cycle de vie (CCV).
La présente Norme européenne est applicable à la spécification et à la vérification de la consommation d'énergie du matériel roulant ferroviaire. Elle établit pour la consommation d'énergie du matériel roulant un critère qui permet de calculer la consommation d'énergie totale nette, mesurée au niveau de l'appareil de captage de courant ou du réservoir de combustible, sur un profil de service prédéfini, afin de s'assurer que les résultats sont directement comparables ou représentatifs de l'exploitation réelle du train. Dans ce cadre, le présent document comptabilise l'énergie consommée et régénérée par le matériel roulant.
La présente Norme européenne fournit le cadre et des recommandations pour la production de valeurs de performance énergétique comparables pour les trains et les locomotives en se fondant sur une base commune, ce qui favorise l'analyse comparative et l'amélioration de l'efficacité énergétique des véhicules ferroviaires.
La présente Norme européenne n'est pas une spécification visant à comparer la consommation d'énergie entre différents modes de transport, ou à comparer la consommation d'énergie entre les systèmes de traction diesel et électrique. Elle s'intéresse uniquement à la consommation d'énergie du matériel roulant ferroviaire.

assessment.
This document is applicable to the specification and verification of energy consumption of railway
rolling stock. It establishes a criterion for the energy consumption of rolling stock to calculate the total
net energy consumed, either at current collector or from the fuel tank, over a predefined service
profile, to ensure that the results are directly comparable or representative of the real operation of the
train. For this purpose, this document considers the energy consumed and regenerated by the rolling
stock. The determination methods covered are the simulation and the measurement.
This document provides the framework that gives guidance on the generation of comparable energy
performance values for trains and locomotives on a common basis and thereby supports
benchmarking and improvement of the energy efficiency of rail vehicles.
This document does not cover the comparison of energy consumption with other modes of
transportation, or even for comparison between diesel and electric traction, covering only the energy
consumption of the railway rolling stock itself.

4 General
Energy is an integral quantity. This means that the cumulated energy is the decisive factor. Realistic
train operation always takes place under the constraints of infrastructure and operational
requirements.
The following train modes are used in this standard:
— In-service with commercial operation mode:
This mode covers the normal operation of a train, including several passenger load cases or a
locomotive hauling a consist of freight wagons. The train is moving or is stationary and the HVAC
system is running in its normal operation mode.
— In-service without commercial operation mode:
In this mode a passenger train is stationary, the HVAC system is in operation as for commercial
operation but without passengers in the train. This situation occurs frequently, for example when
the train is waiting between two commercial runs.
— Parking mode:
A train is in parking mode when it is stationary in depots, with the power supply active, without
staff or passengers being on board. Usually, the HVAC system runs with reduced settings for
temperature and airflow.
Other train modes such as empty carriage stock movements are not considered in this standard as
they do not contribute significantly to the annual energy consumption.
In this standard the preconditioning (pre-heating or pre-cooling) and cleaning are not considered
separately. The corresponding hours shall be counted in the in-service without commercial operation
mode.

SIST EN 50591:2020
EN 50591:2019
The train is switched OFF for remaining time of each day, therefore without any energy consumption.
To keep different characteristics, requirements and procedures manageable, the energy consumption
of the whole train is subdivided into the following three different energy categories, which are handled
separately:
1) Traction and Auxiliaries (in-service with commercial operation mode, without HVAC);
2) Traction and Auxiliaries (in-service without commercial operation mode and in parking mode,
without HVAC);
3) HVAC.
This document incorporates infrastructure and operational conditions into “service profiles” for the
train. The service profile for traction and auxiliaries is assessed via train runs along a line for in service
with commercial operation and stationary at the depot for in service without commercial operation.
HVAC is assessed via an operational point matrix for different operational modes.
The energy consumption over such service profiles shall be used as an input when assessing LCC.
This requires a well-defined and harmonized methodology for specification and verification of the
energy consumption. The selected approach has two steps:
a) simulation of the energy consumption of the train for the three energy categories mentioned
above;
b) verification of the simulation by undertaking measurements.
It is important to note that two different types of service profiles for traction and auxiliaries may be
chosen:
4) user-defined service profiles based on data from a real railway line, normally one or several lines
of the railway network where the train will be operated;
5) standard service profiles, for the following categories:
— suburban (passenger service);
— regional (passenger service);
— intercity (passenger service);
— high speed (passenger service);
— freight mainline serv

124 European foreword
125 This document (prEN 50591:2017) has been prepared by CLC/TC 9X “Electrical and electronic
126 applications for railways” with contribution of UNIFE-UIC TECREC 100_001.
127 This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
128 The following dates are proposed:
— latest date by which the existence (doa) dor + 6 months
of this document has to be
announced at national level
— latest date by which this (dop) dor + 12 months
document has to be implemented
at national level by publication of
an identical national standard or
by endorsement
— latest date by which the national (dow) dor + 36 months
standards conflicting with this
(to be confirmed or
document have to be withdrawn
modified when voting)
129 This document will supersede CLC/TS 50591:2013.
130 Main changes in this standard compared to CLC/TS 50591:2013 are the adoption of existing CLC/TS
131 50591 enquiry comments, harmonisation with results from European Lighthouse Project Roll2Rail and
132 the inclusion of an HVAC energy quantification method. Since separate methods for traction and
133 HVAC energy quantification are described, the document structure had to be revised.
134 This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission
135 and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
136 For the relationship with EU Directive(s) see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this
137 document.

138 1 Scope
139 The main purpose of this standard is the support of rolling stock procurement, especially in light of life
140 cycle cost (LCC) assessment.
141 This European Standard is applicable to the specification and verification of energy consumption of
142 railway rolling stock. It establishes a criterion for the energy consumption of rolling stock to calculate
143 the total net energy consumed, either at current collector or from the fuel tank, over a predefined
144 service profile, in order to ensure that the results are directly comparable or representative of the real
145 operation of the train. For this purpose, this document takes into account the energy consumed and
146 regenerated by the rolling stock.
147 This European Standard provides the framework that gives guidance on the generation of comparable
148 energy performance values for trains and locomotives on a common basis and thereby supports
149 benchmarking and improvement of the energy efficiency of rail vehicles.
150 This European Standard does not cover specification for comparison of energy consumption with
151 other modes of transportation, or even for comparison between diesel and electric traction, covering
152 only the energy consumption of the railway rolling stock itself.

276 4 General
277 Energy is an integral quantity. This means that the cumulated energy is the decisive factor. Realistic
278 train operation always has to take place under the constraints of infrastructure and operational
279 requirements.
280 The following train modes are used in the standard.
281 — In-service mode with commercial operation
282 This mode covers the normal operation of a train, including several passenger loads or a
283 locomotive hauling a trailer consist of freight wagons. The train is moving or at standstill with
284 passengers and the HVAC system is running in its normal operation mode.
285 — In-service mode without commercial operation
286 In this mode the train is at standstill, the HVAC system is in operation as for commercial operation
287 and there is no passenger in the train. This
