Title: | A supercapacitor-based method to mitigate overvoltage and recycle the energy of pantograph arcing in the high speed railway | Authors: | Xu, C Chen, Z Cheng, KWE Wang, X Ho, HF |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | Energies, 2019, v. 12, no. 7, 1214 | Abstract: | The pantograph arcing phenomenon may shorten the service life of a pantograph and even destroy onboard devices and instruments, due to the irregular motions of the train and the intermittent line–pantograph disconnection. This paper points out that abrupt inductive energy from the magnetizing inductance of the traction transformer can lead to an electromagnetic transient process with unexpected overvoltage across it. Further, a supercapacitor-based power electronic system is proposed, which can not only redirect the inductive energy to the supercapacitor pack through bidirectional converters but also mitigate the overvoltage across the main electrical equipment when pantograph arcing occurs. Simulation results show the overvoltage could be reduced and the energy stored in the supercapacitor which could also be used to provide energy for sensors or other devices. | Keywords: | High speed railway Overvoltage Pantograph arcing Supercapacitor |
