The paper describes the many interrelationships of the various factors and types of braking techniques including the partially contradictory relationship between maximizing the use of the electric braking effort capability and maximizing the electrical regeneration capability and in the frequently misunderstood terms of maximum demand and peak demand. Various braking techniques from the past, present and looking towards the future are described which minimize the overall energy consumption and thus the operating costs of an electric railway system.
