КОМПЕНСИРОВАНИЕ ПОТЕРЬ КОНТАКТНОЙ СЕТИ ЗА СЧЕТ ПРИМЕНЕНИЯ БОРТОВОГО НАКОПИТЕЛЯ ЭНЕРГИИ

Abstract

The authors have analysed methods for energy loss reduction in catenary. Currently, there are at least two traditional methods: the first is aimed at decrease of distance between a power source and a consumer, the second - at reduction of resistance of a contact wire. The authors suggest a new method for compensation of catenary losses by installing on a board of electric motive power of an accumulating device that will compensate required power in case of energy shortage. The method allows reducing energy losses due to accumulated energy of the power source and, consequently, allows compensating it in the recuperation mode. As an accumulating device the authors have selected a Russian made supercondencer that can compensate more than a half of traction power system losses. It is equal to construction of an additional traction substation on a section with single-way feed. A simpler and a less expensive realization and high efficiency are the advantages of the proposed method.
