The setting up of this tool was carried out by Work Package 2 (WP2) during the first four months of the project.

To help define and develop the Reference Architecture of the Railway Energy Management System to be developed in MERLIN, the CoralTree (a software tool developed for use in previous projects) has been set up according to the project structure. The output of this work should be ready before the summer and will provide direct input to development of the Reference Architecture for the Railway Energy Management System. Furthermore, this task has also developed a global consumption map describing the energy usage per component and sub-system both in terms of quantity and application (breakdown of tasks performed using the energy measured) and both for freight and passenger traffic. It is aimed at identifying, describing and characterising the key elements of the different sub-systems of a mainline railway system and describing the main components with regard to their energy consumption.
The task relating to the identification of the key railway network elements and main sub-systems specifications has also started. Since the beginning of the project the following achievements can be reported: Most of MERLIN’s work packages have now kicked off and the first set of deliverables is expected soon. MERLIN’s overall objective is to investigate and demonstrate the viability of an integrated management system to achieve a more sustainable and optimised energy usage in European electric mainline railway systems. Encompassing 18 partners including UIC and coordinated by UNIFE, MERLIN is a three-year collaborative R&D project co-funded by the European Commission under FP7 that was started on 2 October 2012.
