An Evaluation on the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Potentials of Bimodal Tram in Road Test Route

초록

Along with the government's introduction and implementation of greenhouse gas(GHG) energy target management system, it is regarded to be important that railway operation agency should prepare the method of carrying out allocation of GHG reduction target. Recently the number of electric railway vehicles through new construction project increases in order to secure public transportation system for low carbon green growth. Public transport railways mainly to connect the city center and near the area, the local and regional transit subway type trains that connect the country's main artery connecting the new Korean high-speed train to the growing demand for its is increasing. Therefore, as electric energy management emerges as major issue following the increased use of electric energy, there appears the necessity of consumption measurement and management through monitoring of energy consumption. Likewise, calculation of electricity emission coefficient from power consumption through monitoring the energy consumed by electric railway vehicles enables to systematic management of energy consumed by vehicle and GHG emissions as well as estimation of GHG emissions. In this study, primary prototype of GHG monitoring system was produced, which passed testing of the official laboratory (KOLAS). Based on such result, we produced secondary prototype and mounted it on Nooriro railway vehicles that runs Seoul-Sinchang round route. In conclusion, this study was aimed at observation of GHG monitoring system with regard to the functions of collecting/saving the data of the operating railway car, checking for normal operation, accuracy of GHG calculation program, reliability and safety on railway vehicles and interface
