2009. Royal Decree 1011/2009 is published,
of June 19, which regulates, among other
aspects, discharge into the electricity grid for
those consumers who implement energy
saving and efficiency systems. In this way, in
those moments in which the electrical energy
saved cannot be consumed in the installation
RENFE itself, the energy can be poured into the
network, fulfilling a series of previous
2005. New speed record in Spain with a requirements. This Decree promotes from
series 102 train (367 km/h) on the Madrid- then on the implementation of this type of
Lérida high-speed line. system by railway managers and operators,
mainly inverters or power inverters in direct
current electrical substations.
2006. Speed record in Spain with a series 103
train (402 km/h) on the Madrid-Barcelona 2010. Bilbao Metro installs the first power
high-speed line, Alcolea del Pinar-Las inverter in Spain at the Ripa substation
Inviernas route.
(Bilbao), in a 1,500 V DC system. It enables
recoveryand reuse of 8% of the energy of the
trains.

2011. ADIF patents a procedure for charging
electric vehicles from the railway power grid,
additionally developing all the associated
technology. The system is popularly known
as Ferrolinera.

2013. Metro de Madrid implements the
efficient driving of metropolitan trains with
ATO, starting on Line 3.
JCMA
2014. ADIF implements a power inverter in
2008. After several years of work, the the La Comba substation (Málaga), in a 3,000
Railway Infrastructure Administrator, ADIF, V DC system, constituting at that time the first
completes the development of a storage plant inverter in the world at that voltage using
IGBT semiconductors. Years later, this
for the braking energy of trains in 3,000 V DC development has been extended to other
networks, based on the use of flywheels. The traction substations distributed throughout
plant was developed in the vicinity of the the Spanish network.
Madrid-Atocha station.

2016. The Spanish Railways Technological
Platform, PTFE, publishes the first version of
the Position Paper on sustainable and
intelligent energy management in the railway
field.
