Factor analysis of electric power consumption for training trains

At present, Russian Railways pays special attention to the issue of cost reduction, in particular, a significant role is given to reducing energy consumption and increasing the energy efficiency of the industry. To assess the consumption of fuel and energy resources and develop management decisions aimed at optimizing energy costs, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive and regular analysis of the factors affecting the amount of energy consumption. The research was based on the developments of both domestic and foreign scientists in this scientific field, as well as methods of factor analysis of indicators of energy efficiency of train traction. Based on the statistical data on the activities of one of the railway landfills for 2018-2020, an analysis of the factors affecting the consumption of electricity for traction of trains was carried out, which provides a basis for the implementation of organizational and technical measures aimed at reducing the energy consumption of the holding. The article identifies the directions of ensuring energy savings in order to improve the energy efficiency of Russian Railways.
