This paper investigates the effect of regenerative braking on energy consumption for an Automated People Mover (APM) at King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB), Prachinburi Campus. Data for two routes were collected using the Speed Tracker Application: GPS Speedometer. Initial analyses were performed in MATLAB program, focusing only on the up-track of the APM route. The study compared the simulation results for tractive power, regenerative energy, and energy consumption between two scenarios: one APM with regenerative braking and one APM without regenerative braking. The results revealed that incorporating regenerative braking reduced energy consumption by 46.45% and 38.14% for routes 1 and 2, respectively, compared to the APM without regenerative braking.

摘要

This paper investigates the effect of regenerative braking on energy consumption for an Automated People Mover (APM) at King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB), Prachinburi Campus. Data for two routes were collected using the Speed Tracker Application: GPS Speedometer. Initial analyses were performed in MATLAB program, focusing only on the up-track of the APM route. The study compared the simulation results for tractive power, regenerative energy, and energy consumption between two scenarios: one APM with regenerative braking and one APM without regenerative braking. The results revealed that incorporating regenerative braking reduced energy consumption by 46.45% and 38.14% for routes 1 and 2, respectively, compared to the APM without regenerative braking.
