Railway transportation has a huge share of energy consumption in the industry. The efficient power consumption is the most important issue for the minimization of the cost of railway transportation. The control strategy for efficient power consumption is varying due to the type of locomotive. Each type of locomotive needs its specific power model for this purpose.
The range of the locomotives used in Turkey are full of diversity according to the type and size of the motor. In this research, DE 24000 type of locomotive is chosen for mathematically modeling of its required power under various load, speed, ramp, and curve conditions. Then a mathematical equation is produced according to these values with Least Square Method. The optimum efficient working point is found as 735.5-ton load and 38km/h speed with the aim of this produced equation.
