Abstract
The issue of increasing the level of electrical energy recovered by the electric rolling stock and the efficiency of its use at the electrified sections of railways of JSC “Russian Railways” is still topical at present. This issue is considered today in the context of increasing the efficiency of the use of traction rolling stock. Increasing the energy efficiency of the transportation process by increasing the efficiency of recovery can be achieved both by the implementation of organizational decisions and through the introduction of additional equipment in the traction power supply system, for example, installation of reversible converters at traction substations or power storage devices on electric rolling stock and in the system of traction power supply, as well as other technical means, changing the parameters of the operation of sections with mandatory provision of the operability of the regenerative braking systems in the electric rolling stock. To assist in the reasoned adoption of similar and other managerial decisions, it is advisable to create an intelligent system for controlling the processes of applying regenerative braking and using recovery energy. This paper briefly reviews the main results of scientific research on the efficiency of recovery, suggests a mechanism for adapting the methods developed earlier to the system for controlling energy efficiency of recovery processes at the sections of railways.
Highlights
Among the employees of JSC “RZD” connected with the issues of traction of trains, there was an opinion that “the use of recovery is useless, but even harmful, because the recovered energy is not used efficiently and only heats the contact network and, when switching on the recovery, the traction substations are allegedly out of order” [1]
In order to achieve the above goal and increase the energy efficiency of the transportation process, it is generally proposed to automate the method described in the paper - to develop and implement the Automated System for Assessing the Efficiency of Using Recovery Energy at the Railway Sections (ASA EURE), which should become an integral part of the Intelligent Control System for Regenerative braking and the use of recovery energy (ICS R)
ASA EURE should interact with already existing systems, such as the SAS-portal, GID “Ural”, ACS-E, ACS-P and others, which contain the necessary initial information for calculating the empirical coefficients, which determine the character of the recovery energy distribution at the section
Summary
Among the employees of JSC “RZD” connected with the issues of traction of trains, there was an opinion that “the use of recovery is useless, but even harmful, because the recovered energy is not used efficiently and only heats the contact network and, when switching on the recovery, the traction substations are allegedly out of order” [1]. Part of the braking energy of trains is realized due to dynamic braking
