What is BS EN 50463-3-Data handling for energy measurement on board trains about?
BS EN 50463 is a European standard that discusses railway applications. BS EN 50463-3 provides the best industry guidance on data handling to build an efficient energy measurement system that provides reliable measurement and data that is suitable for billing and energy saving.
BS EN 50463-3 is the third part of a multi-part series that outlines the requirements applicable to the Data Handling System (DHS) of an energy measurement system (EMS). BS EN 50463-3 also includes the basic requirements for the Data Collecting System (DCS) on-ground, relating to the acquisition and storage, and export of Compiled Energy Billing Data (CEBD). The Conformity Assessment arrangements for the DHS and the DCS are specified in BS EN 50463-3.
Note: The settlement system is outside the scope of BS EN 50463-3, and the specification of the interface between DCS and the settlement system is outside the scope of BS EN 50463-3.
Who is BS EN 50463-3-Data handling for energy measurement on board trains for?
BS EN 50463-3 on data handling for energy measurement on board trains is useful for:
- Personnel or technical staff for data handling for energy measurement on board trains
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS EN 50463-3-Data handling for energy measurement on board trains?
The EMF provides a measurement of the consumed and regenerated active energy of a railway traction unit. If the traction unit is designed for use on AC traction systems, the EMF also provides a measurement of reactive energy. The EMF provides the measured quantities via an interface to the Data Handling System.
BS EN 50463-3 guideline assists you with requirements on-time data, energy data, location data, other received, produced data, consumption point ID (CPID), production of CEBD, DHS data storage, the transmission of CEBD from DHS to DCS, marking, essential information, event recording, and DCS for data handling for energy measurement on board trains.
BS EN 50463-3 provides Conformity assessment on the testing framework, Design review, Type testing, Routine testing, and DCS conformity assessment for data handling for energy measurement on board trains.
With compliance and obedience of BS EN 50463-3, you can use appropriate ways for effective and efficient data handling for energy measurement on board trains to reduce hazards.
What’s changed since the last update?BS EN 50463-3:2017 supersedes EN 50463-3:2012, which is withdrawn. BS EN 50463-3:2017 has updated the requirements for DCS, CEBD, quality codes, and logs (Clause 4) compared to EN 50463-3:2012.
