N2 - To make rail transport much greener, the fuel cell system has been applied in some train vehicles. The paper is aimed at establishing an integrated mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model to optimize operations of the trains with the fuel cell system. Train motion analysis and physical constraints setup are given to illustrate the model. The main power-efficiency characteristic of the fuel cell system is also modeled in the research. The optimal train speed trajectory is obtained by applying the proposed approach, where the hydrogen consumption of the fuel cell is minimized. To prove the robustness of the model, the power profiles of scenarios with normal and extreme power-efficiency characteristics are compared, and the results show influences of these characteristics on the train operations.
