Power-Quality Impact Assessment for High-Speed Railway Associated With High-Speed Trains Using Train Timetable—Part I: Methodology and Modeling

摘要

The proliferation of the voltage-source converter-based high-speed trains has resulted in significant distortions in voltage and current waveforms in both traction power supply system and the utility system. The dynamic behaviors of the high-speed trains (HSTs) make the assessment of such power-quality (PQ) problems quite difficult. There is an urgent need for techniques that can quantify the collective PQ impacts of modern trains during a 24-h period. Dynamic behavior modeling of the modern trains during the operating duty period between two station stops is studied here for PQ assessment. The 24-h profiles of the train timetable and rail infrastructure are entered to compute the information, including train positions, speeds, power consumptions, etc. Moreover, six sets of the measurement-based Norton-equivalent model under different operations are implemented to represent the dynamic harmonic behaviors of the train. In addition, the systemic modeling of the utility system, traction lines, and Scott-connection transformer is also described. After comparing the results of calculations and measurements, the proposed model is ideally effective for analyzing the consequences of HST's dynamic behavior and system topology that are involved in fundamental power flow and harmonic power flow in order to evaluate the comprehensive PQ impacts in a companion paper.
