The energy consumption of rail transport system is closely related to the train operation. This chapter will introduce the relationship between train operation and energy consumption under different energy-efficient strategies. This relationship will serve as the basis for the energy-efficient optimisation methods in the subsequent chapters. Specifically, the train-based energy-saving strategy aims to minimise the net energy consumption, for which four methods can be distinguished, including energy-efficient train control, energy-efficient train timetabling, optimisation of train timetables for regenerative braking, and energy-efficient driving considering energy storage systems. Second, the substation-based energy-saving strategy aiming to increase the efficiency of the power supply system is briefly presented.
