Abstract

The One of the critical advancements in railway technology is the incorporation of regenerative braking mechanisms, which harness kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy, thus improving the energy efficiency of railway operations. This study delves into the energy balance and the potential for recovering regenerative braking energy within the Integrated Main Line of Jakarta, or LRT Jakarta. Currently spanning 5.8 km with six primary stations, the LRT Jakarta system operates with plans for future expansion. The analysis of regenerative braking energy reveals that approximately 6.170 kWh of energy is successfully generated during the journey. However, this amount falls short when compared to the total energy required for acceleration and deceleration throughout the trip, which stands at about 9.453 kWh. While regenerative braking contributes significantly to reducing energy needs, there remains untapped potential for further improving energy efficiency within the railway system.This research employs mathematical analysis and MATLAB Simulink simulations to evaluate energy recovery during deceleration in the DC railway infrastructure, considering various factors influencing regenerative braking energy. The findings highlight opportunities for enhancing energy efficiency, potentially through the integration of an Energy Storage System (ESS) and optimized scheduling for LRT operations.
