Hybrid Simulation of Dynamics for the Pantograph-Catenary System

摘要

In order to examine the static and dynamic behavior of the pantograph-catenary system, a special test facility is established and described in this paper. Since the catenary is difficult to be modeled by a hardware test facility indoor, a mixed theoretical-experimental technique is introduced, in which the pantograph is an actual one but the catenary is just an input of a mathematical model. Based on setting up the hybrid simulation test device of the pantograph-catenary system, the dynamic behavior of the system under overhead equipment with variant parameters is analyzed for different speed. The effect of the presag and the surface irregularities of contact wire on current-collection has been studied.
