Abstract
Increasing the efficiency of cargo transportation by rail is not only one of the main directions of the company JSC “Russian Railways” but also one of the main tasks of our country in order to achieve sustainable economic growth. Electric rolling stock is the largest consumer of electric energy in the company, that’s why its effective and failure-free operation is the way to solve the set tasks. The paper deals with studies related to the operation modes of a freight electric rolling stock of direct current for the purpose of determining the requirements for electric energy storage device, since it is the electric rolling stock that determines the daily schedule of electric load. The order of the analysis of experimental trips of freight electric locomotives of a direct current on the basis of cartridges of recorders of traffic parameters installed on the locomotive is determined. On the basis of the analysis of conducted trips, the main requirements for the energy storage device were obtained with a single running of electric DC rolling stock, namely the average duration of the operation modes of the electric locomotive, the maximum, minimum, and average values of voltage and current, the average value of the electric energy returned to the contact network, time of charge/discharge, and the useful energy intensity of the electric energy storage device. The studies were carried out with the support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research for the project No 17-20-01148 ofi_m_RZD/17.
Highlights
At present, the use of operating domain technologies on railway transport has significantly increased the efficiency of cargo transportation in our country
The author's work is aimed at finding ways to improve the traction energy system (TES) of direct current by using innovative devices - electrical energy storage devices that will allow the company to move to environmentally friendly and resource-saving energy
Operation modes of electric rolling stock determine the schedule of electric load of traction substations and modes of operation of the traction energy system as a whole
Summary
The use of operating domain technologies on railway transport has significantly increased the efficiency of cargo transportation in our country. It became common to see heavy and long trains with mass of 6-12 thousand tons [1]. In view of the fact that the traction energy system (TES) was implemented according to the projects of the 1960s-1980s, the handling of these masses of trains often causes difficulties. The JSC “RZD” solves this problem by carrying out various measures to strengthen the TES [2]. The author's work is aimed at finding ways to improve the TES of direct current by using innovative devices - electrical energy storage devices that will allow the company to move to environmentally friendly and resource-saving energy
