An arrangement for inductively transmitting energy for charging an energy storage device of a rail vehicle. A first induction element transfers energy to a second induction element. An inverter with an adjustable AC voltage frequency provides an AC voltage to the first induction element. A controller controls the AC voltage frequency of the inverter. A measuring device ascertains a power output value during the wireless energy transmission and transmits the value to the controller and the controller adjusts AC voltage frequency of the inverter downward from an upper threshold until a pre-specified power output value is set while energy is being transmitted. The first induction element is paired with a track for rail traffic. The system and a method are also described for inductively transmitting energy for charging an energy storage device of a rail vehicle.

Arrangement, system and method for inductively transmitting energy for charging at least one energy store of a rail vehicle

An energy storage arrangement or configuration includes an energy store or storage device which can be connected to an electrical energy supply via a buck converter and a choke device. A boost converter is connected parallel with the energy store and the buck converter. The energy store is configured to be charged to a higher voltage level than the voltage level of the electrical energy supply. An energy storage system having multiple energy storage configurations and a method for operating an energy storage configuration are also provided.

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for operating a magnetically levitated vehicle by means of an arrangement having at least one long-stator linear motor. The linear motors are sub-divided longitudinally of a track into individual motor regions (AA) in which only one vehicle () at a time can normally travel. To increase the vehicle concentration along the track, provision is made in accordance with the invention for selected motor regions (A) to be divided into at least two mutually independent motor region sections (AA) and for one vehicle () to be operated in each motor region section (AA) at a part of that power which is preset for each motor region (A).

An apparatus for operating a magnet vehicle, especially a magnetically levitated vehicle. The apparatus includes a long stator linear motor with at least one long stator winding laid along a track and at least one exciter arrangement cooperating with this winding and mounted on the vehicle. The long stator winding is divided into winding sections ( ) following one another, which each have a greater length than the exciter arrangement. At least two section cables serve to supply the winding sections with electric power and switch devices serve to connect the winding sections ( ) sequentially to a section cable each in correspondence with the progression of the vehicle. In accordance with the invention the winding sections ( ) each comprise at least a first and a second winding section part ( ), wherein the first winding section part ( ) consists of first winding segments ( ) electrically conductively connected to one another and the second winding section part ( ) consists of second winding segments ( ) electrically conductively connected to one another. The segments have a smaller length than the exciter arrangement ( ) and are so arranged one after the other in the direction of the track in a predetermined sequence that the winding sections ( ) always include in any arbitrary conceptual sector extending along the track and having a length corresponding to that of the exciter arrangement ( ) at least a first and a second winding segment ( or ).

The stator segments are controllable via at least one segment switch on at least one section cable system running along the stator segments. At least one frequency transformer is provided per section cable system, with the frequency transformer(s) arranged in at least one substation along the stator segments. Each frequency transformer generates a supply voltage system for the stator segments, with the nominal voltage in the section cable system being greater than the nominal voltage of the stator segments.

In a power supply system for a linear stator motor, the installed operating means should be utilized in an optimum manner, while the losses due to energy transfer should be maintained as low as possible. For this purpose, the cable route systems should be connected with each other by at least one controllable coupling switch, in such a way that the switching segment in which the vehicle is located at any particular time is always connected with all the cable route systems.
