Increasing the power efficiency of a 25-kV alternating current traction power supply system

详细

One promising method of increasing the power efficiency of an electrified railway is reducing the power capacity of the transfer process and the consumption of the electric power to the train traction. A 25-kV ac traction power supply a system features the drastically variable one-phase train load, which leads to a change in voltage on substations buses and train current collectors, as well as an increase in loss powers. The rules of the composition of the traction power supply for the fulfillment of the train schedule normalize the voltage on the substation buses and train current collector of no more than 29 kV and no less than 21 kV. Analysis of operation of the traction power supply system is carried out, and steps are taken to increase the engineering and economic performance of 25-kV ac railways. A new notion of normal power supply circuits of traction loads synthesized on the basis of simulation is presented. Analyzing the structure of the imbalance of electric power and voltage in traction network allows one to define steps toward increasing power efficiency. The accuracy of the initial data is determined by comparing the expected and real train schedules, as well as electric load curves. The simulation accuracy is determined on the basis of predictable power and voltage losses with monitoring results.
