Abstract: An electric power supply network includes at least one connection point with an upstream electrical network delivering useful power to at least one input of a first electric power supply network of an electrically powered transport system, such as trolley buses, trams, metro, train, or other transport, the first electrical network presenting peak power fluctuations as a function of variable energy needs depending on traffic associated with the transport system. The first electrical network includes at least one power output capable of distributing energy, in particular recovered from the transport system and from the upstream electrical network, to at least a second electrical network, enabling energy to be supplied to electrical consumption points. At least one supervision unit monitors distribution of energy from the power output whenever at least the peak power required by the first transport system is below the useful power available upstream.

Abstract: A method for minimizing the electricity consumption required for a public transport network that includes several consumers such as electric vehicles. When the vehicles brake, they deliver energy which is recoverable by consumers on the network, such as moving vehicles. A timetable of running orders for all the vehicles is produced, taking account of at least the following parameters: a dynamic location of each vehicle, a stop schedule for each vehicle outside a stop zone, a start schedule for each vehicle in a stop zone in the network; depending on time and motion variations in at least one of said parameters, at least some of the running orders in the timetable are modified chronologically according to a criterion for the maximum distribution of energy recovered from braking to consumers potentially actively requiring power. The timetable is delivered to the vehicles. An associated algorithmic platform may implement the novel process.
