Abstract: : The real world processes involving energy and matter need to be linked not only to the engineering design and operation but also to the environment isuues. Energy systems involving coversion chain processes are highly irreversible and, consequently, they could have low exergy efficiencies. The paper emphasizes a number of sustainability-based concepts, such achieved energy, exergy and embodied energy, related as tools in order to describe, analyse and optimize energy conversion in electric transportation systems. This study aimed at examining an underground railway train as a system where different energy forms occur, so that the successive energy conversion chain is emphasized and the energy and exergy efficiencies, respectively, are compared. There are presented numerical simulations of traction induction motors regimes and experimental data related to electric trains operation. In this application, the exergy analysis can improve and optimize the electric!
transportation system design and operation, but also emphasizes the strong link between environmental and engineering education.
