A Railway electrification system supplies electric power to railway trains and trams without an on-board prime mover or local fuel supply. * Electric railways use electric locomotives to haul passengers or freight in separate cars or electric multiple units, passenger cars with their own motors. * Electricity is typically generated in large and relatively efficient generating stations, transmitted to the railway network and distributed to the trains. Some electric railways have their own dedicated generating stations and transmission lines but most purchase power from an electric utility. The railway usually provides its own distribution lines, switches and transformers. * Power is supplied to moving trains with a (nearly) continuous conductor running along the track that usually takes one of two forms: overhead line, suspended from poles or towers along the track or from structure or tunnel ceilings; third rail mounted at track level and contacted by a sliding "pickup shoe". Both overhead wire and third-rail systems usually use the running rails as the return conductor but some systems use a separate fourth rail for this purpose. * In comparison to the principal alternative, the diesel engine, electric railways offer substantially better energy efficiency, lower emissions and lower operating costs. * Electric locomotives are also usually quieter, more powerful, and more responsive and reliable than diesels. * They have no local emissions, an important advantage in tunnels and urban areas. * Some electric traction systems provide regenerative braking that turns the train's kinetic energy back into electricity and returns it to the supply system to be used by other trains or the general utility grid. * While diesel locomotives burn petroleum, electricity can be generated from diverse sources including renewable energy. * Disadvantages of electric traction include high capital costs that may be uneconomic on lightly trafficked routes; a relative lack of flexibility - since electric trains need electrified tracks (or overhead wires)- and a vulnerability to power interruptions. * Different regions may use different supply voltages and frequencies, complicating through service and requiring greater complexity of locomotive power. * The limited clearances available under overhead lines may preclude efficient double-stack container service. * Railway electrification has constantly increased in the past decades, and as of 2012, electrified tracks account for nearly one third of total tracks globally. |
