GENERAL OBJECTIVES

Increasing the economic competitiveness of both large and small businesses by developing links and synergies between those businesses and higher education research and development centers.

Promoting investments for the development of smart solutions to increase the security and competitiveness of power groups, simultaneously with the realization of pilot installations to help faster verifications of the proposed smart solutions.

Increasing the transfer of knowledge, technology and staff with RDI skills and increasing the economic competitiveness of an electricity producer and at least of an SME with an area of concern in the energy field - through direct access to research and development results and technology transfer and knowledge from research units.

SPECIFIC AND OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Through industrial research and experimental development activities, the study, research, design, realization and testing of complex equipment for acquisition and monitoring in various configurations for power groups from S.C. Oltenia Energy Complex S.A. - Rovinari Power Plant Branch.

A new solution for complex systems used to improve energy safety and competitiveness in static excitation groups in energy systems, based on recordings and preliminary processing of data obtained from a static excitation energy group will be studied, developed and designed.

Experimental development activities aim to achieve a functional model and experiment in real conditions of operation of a complex system that can be integrated into the excitation system of an energy group from S.C. Oltenia Energy Complex S.A. - Turceni Power Plant Branch.

There will be a pilot installation for hardware development-optimization and development - implementation - optimization of software algorithms, dedicated to complex equipment for monitoring the functional parameters related to the component installations of the power system.

Equipment and tools for industrial research and experimental development will be purchased.

THE NEED TO IMPLEMENT THE PROJECT

At European level, investment in research and development and innovation has been significant recently, with the aim of developing the energy sector in parallel with operational safety and clean energy delivery.

The project is in line with policies to promote concrete programs for energy efficiency in conditions of increased security and competitiveness, both at national and European level.

The theme of the project is correlated with the specifics of the competition POC-A1-A1.2.3.-G-2015, aiming to acquire knowledge, respectively to obtain scientific results and cutting-edge technology for the purpose of subsequent transfer into economic practice.

The aim of the project is to provide new directions for action to increase energy security and competitiveness. This is closely related to the requirements

UCTE (Union for the Coordination of Electricity Transmission) at European level.

Theoretical contributions (by redefining power / energy quality parameters with reference to high power sources) from numerical simulations, from industrial research and experimental development activities, as well as from data obtained from the implementation of complex equipment, will allow the promotion of new ideas in the field of intelligent specialization to which the project is addressed.

Competition POC-A1-A1.2.3-G-2015.

Project type: Knowledge transfer partnerships - KTP

Major field of intervention: 3 - ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE

Project title: "Intelligent traction system, energy efficient for new generations of light rail machines" -

TRAC-IEE (ID P_40_401, SMIS Code 106021), Nr. financing contract: 59 / 05.09.2016

Subsidiary contract no. 2 / 21.12.2017 entitled “Studies and research on modeling and numerical simulation of the components of a railway traction system”, concluded between the research organization - University of Craiova and the enterprise - INAS S.A. (Partner 2).

GENERAL OBJECTIVES

The project proposes the development of a light rail electric system that will take into account identified technical trends, be in line with applicable railway standards and the specific adaptations required and will be part of any light rail vehicles such as multi-unit electric trains ( EMU) and light electric locomotives (with maximum powers of 500kW) - intended for public rail transport of people and goods.

By carrying out the project around high-performance research laboratories with high-level infrastructure, the aim is to increase the transfer of knowledge, technology and personnel, as well as increase the economic competitiveness of an electrically operated locomotive and train manufacturer and at least one SME - by direct access to the results obtained from the research and development activity and through the transfer of technology and knowledge from the research units.

The experimental development activities aim at creating a functional model and experimenting in real operating conditions.

SPECIFIC AND OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Carrying out research activities for the development and commissioning of the asynchronous traction motor, the power converter, the auxiliary service converter and the power transformer - components of the traction system.

Research for the analysis of the electromagnetic impact of the means of traction on the environment and of the supply network.

Research for the development of an efficient energy management in railway traction.

Acquisition of equipment and tools for industrial research and experimental development.

THE NEED TO IMPLEMENT THE PROJECT

In Romania, the need to manufacture multi-unit electric trains is explicitly expressed in the national programmatic strategies and documents.

Globally, the trend is to use electric locomotives for freight trains and Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) trains for passenger transport, each of which has important economic benefits.

The need to manufacture the traction system for EMU trains and light locomotives is mainly determined by:

- the need for the final product to be priced lower than competing products;
- making efficient use of the experience gained by developing and manufacturing similar products;
- use of existing labor force;
- efficient use, at an optimal load of the machinery, equipment and instruments held;
- increasing the competitiveness of Research and Development Departments within an electric locomotive and train manufacturer and at least one SME;
- stimulating research and development activities;
- increasing the competitiveness of companies;
- expanding the portfolio of products with sales potential;
- increasing the technicality of production;
- increase productivity.
