Batteries are key components of train operation. When parked in rail yards (storage, marshalling, etc.), a train’s pantograph cannot remain in contact with the catenary without significant safety risks (e.g., damage to electrical circuits that could cause a fire).
Therefore, pantographs are held down when the train is not in operation. So, enabling a train to operate depends on the battery capacity to lift the pantograph, which is the only component allowing the train to leave its yard.
Monitoring batteries is then a crucial issue for several reasons, including:
- To maintain the service quality to customers
- To optimise operations by avoiding delays and heavy re-commissioning interventions.
