Abstract:
1. A power adjustment system for powering an electric line for supplying power for vehicles moving on a track/traffic route associated with the electric line, comprising: an electric supply feeder delivering an electric power to the electric line and delivering an adjustable power as a function of fluctuations in an energy required for an instantaneous traffic density to an energy storage device for supplying the electric line with peak power through at least one converter; a dimensioning unit receiving information concerning energy requirements as a function of the traffic density evaluated over at least one given time duration; said dimensioning unit, based on the information, controlling an adjustment of a useful predicted storage of said storage device such that the electric power supplied to said storage device is adjusted to a minimum threshold while precisely ensuring a sufficient energy backup in said storage device to compensate for any peak power required instantaneously by the traffic in the given time duration.
