A Study on the Design of KHST Power Car

한국형 고속전철 동력차 설계에 관한 연구

The study was carried out about the design of power Car for Korean High Speed Train of maximum operating speed of 350km/h. The running resistance accounts toy the greater part of overall resistance to front hue motion. So, The Power Car's shape has to be mainly determined by aerodynamic considerations. In the train configuration of the KHST, the front and rear power cars assume the role of a locomotive. They accommodate all the machinery for providing traction. The train is controlled and monitored from power cars. This report was descrived, which focuses on aerodynamics, mass balance, the car body and the layout of the equipment that is fitted into power car.
