Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of rail train technology, and in particular to a control method, device, storage medium and electronic equipment for a range-extended traction system. Background Technology

[0002] While pursuing high transport capacity and green operation, electrified railways have long been constrained by two major problems: First, the large amount of energy generated by train regenerative braking cannot be efficiently recovered. When fed back to the power grid, it is prone to power quality problems such as negative sequence, harmonics, and overvoltage, which endanger train safety and waste energy. Second, the traditional phase-separated power supply mode requires the installation of electrical phase separation between each traction substation. Trains need to coast and slow down when passing through, which not only limits the line's throughput capacity but also divides the traction network into multiple "power supply islands," resulting in low substation capacity utilization, severe voltage drops, and difficulty in extending the power supply radius.

[0003] In existing technologies, energy storage-type regenerative energy recovery, PFC through-power supply, RPC compensation and other technologies can only achieve partial improvement in energy recovery or grid connection on one side. They cannot solve the two major bottlenecks of "low recovery rate" and "electrical phase separation" at the same time. This results in high infrastructure investment, high operating energy consumption and complex scheduling, which makes it difficult to meet the development needs of the new generation of green, low-carbon, large-capacity and long-distance electrified railways.

[0038] To make the features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] In the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0040] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, in the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0041] As mentioned earlier, existing electrified railway technology faces a dual bottleneck: limited power supply capacity and inefficient regenerative energy recovery. Firstly, the phase-splitting structure forces trains to slow down and cross phases, dividing the traction network into multiple single-power supply zones. This results in short power supply distances, insufficient substation capacity utilization, and exacerbated voltage drops. Secondly, regenerative braking energy is difficult to return to the grid due to negative sequence and harmonic pollution, posing a risk of overvoltage in train sets and causing energy waste. Current upgrade schemes cannot simultaneously address the issues of extending power supply distances and efficiently recovering regenerative energy, hindering the development of electrified railways towards a green and low-carbon direction.

[0042] In view of this, this application provides a control method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment for a range-extended traction system. The solution replaces traditional intermediate substations with back-to-back converters containing hybrid energy storage, eliminating the electrical phase-separation structure and achieving full electrical continuity across the traction network. This extends the power supply distance of a single substation. Simultaneously, a hierarchical control strategy of "condition judgment-optimized scheduling" is designed: the upper layer dynamically divides three operating conditions based on short-term load forecasting; the lower layer uses an active-reactive power collaborative optimization model to match multiple objective functions for different operating conditions, including uniformizing main transformer utilization, maximizing regenerative energy recovery rate, or limiting transformer overload, while meeting train voltage safety and power flow constraints. Furthermore, it utilizes the complementary characteristics of supercapacitors and battery energy storage to simultaneously address the issues of extended power supply distance, efficient regenerative energy recovery, and safe and economical system operation.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 An exemplary system architecture diagram of a range-extended traction system control method provided in this application embodiment.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the system architecture may include a terminal 101, a network 102, and a server 103. The network 102 serves as the medium for providing a communication link between the terminal 101 and the server 103. The network 102 may include various types of wired or wireless communication links, such as wired communication links including fiber optic cables, twisted-pair cables, or coaxial cables, and wireless communication links including Bluetooth communication links, Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) communication links, or microwave communication links, etc.

[0045] Terminal 101 can interact with server 103 via network 102 to receive messages from or send messages to server 103. Alternatively, terminal 101 can interact with server 103 via network 102 to receive messages or data sent to server 103 by other users. Terminal 101 can be hardware or software. When terminal 101 is hardware, it can be various electronic devices, including but not limited to smartwatches, smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. When terminal 101 is software, it can be installed in the aforementioned electronic devices and can be implemented as multiple software programs or software modules (e.g., to provide distributed services) or as a single software program or software module; no specific limitation is made here.

[0046] In this embodiment, terminal 101 can collect traction power supply system network data and train operation data in real time, and predict the traction load for the next scheduling period based on the network data and train operation data; based on the prediction results, generate an optimization function and constraint boundary that matches the train operation conditions; and based on the optimization function and constraint boundary, generate the optimal control configuration for the energy storage device and the power conversion device.

[0047] Server 103 can be a business server providing various services. It should be noted that server 103 can be either hardware or software. When server 103 is hardware, it can be implemented as a distributed server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or as a single server. When server 103 is software, it can be implemented as multiple software programs or software modules (e.g., used to provide distributed services), or as a single software program or software module; no specific limitations are made here.

[0048] Alternatively, the system architecture may not include server 103. In other words, server 103 may be an optional device in the embodiments of this specification. That is, the method provided in the embodiments of this specification can be applied to a system structure that only includes terminal 101. The embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0049] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminals, networks, and servers shown is only illustrative; the number can be any number of terminals, networks, and servers depending on the implementation requirements.

[0050] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2This application provides a network topology diagram for a traction power supply system. In this embodiment, the traction network includes traction substation A and traction substation C, and a relay power control-energy storage system (RSPC-ESS). Substation A supplies power to phase α, and traction substation C supplies power to phase β. The original substation B is decommissioned and replaced by the RSPC-ESS. By replacing the original traction substation with the relay power control system, the phase separation between adjacent substations is eliminated. Through continuous operation of the entire traction network, the problem of "power supply islands" is effectively avoided, and the power supply distance of a single substation is extended to twice the original distance, significantly reducing the construction cost of electrified railways.

[0051] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a range-extended traction system control method provided in an embodiment of this application. The execution entity in this embodiment can be an electronic device that performs range-extended traction system control, a processor within an electronic device that performs the range-extended traction system control method, or a range-extended traction system control service within the electronic device performing the range-extended traction system control method. For ease of description, the following uses a processor within an electronic device as an example to illustrate the specific execution process of the range-extended traction system control method.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the control method for a range-extended traction system may include at least:

[0053] S301. Real-time acquisition of traction power supply system network data and train operation data, and prediction of traction load for the next scheduling period based on the network data and train operation data.

[0054] Specifically, real-time data collection is performed on the traction power supply system network data and train operation data. The traction power supply system network data includes the impedance per unit length of the traction network and the rated capacity S of the substations at both ends. T1 S T2 Converter capacity S RSPC-ESS Train operation data includes the train's current speed and location. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This application provides a flowchart of a short-term load forecasting process based on traction calculation. To perform traction calculations, traction power supply system network data and train operation data must first be collected, laying the groundwork for subsequent steps.

[0055] In one possible embodiment, a train control strategy is set based on train operating conditions; the train control strategy includes a constant speed control strategy and a quasi-constant speed control strategy. To provide reliable train power calculation input for short-term traction load prediction, a train control strategy is set according to the train's operating conditions. The constant speed control strategy continuously adjusts the traction or braking force through the traction or braking system during train operation, ensuring that the actual train speed is always precisely maintained at the set target speed. This strategy is suitable for straight roads or scenarios with strict speed requirements. Through closed-loop adjustment of traction and braking force, the actual train speed strictly tracks the set speed. The quasi-constant speed control strategy allows for small fluctuations in train speed near the set speed to reduce energy consumption and equipment impact caused by frequent traction / braking switching. This strategy is suitable for scenarios with large gradient changes or complex operating conditions. This embodiment uses the constant speed control strategy as an example.

[0056] Furthermore, based on the current speed change of the train, the current operating condition is determined. Operating conditions can be categorized into three types: inertia, traction, and braking. The current operating condition is determined by judging the direction of the instantaneous acceleration, and this condition is directly classified into scenarios, laying the groundwork for subsequent steps. Based on the train's equation of motion, traction calculations are performed to obtain the force situation, speed, and position within the current step length. The equation of motion is as follows:

[0057]

[0058]

[0059]

[0060]

[0061] Where c is the unit net force on the train, in N / kN, f0, w0, w j b represents traction force, basic resistance, additional resistance, and braking force, respectively, all in N / kN; a represents acceleration, in m / s². 2 v is the train speed (km / h), s is the train distance (km), r is the slewing mass coefficient (typically 0.06), and g is the gravitational acceleration (typically 9.8, m / s²). 2 Please continue reading. Figure 4To ensure that the time length of the traction load prediction output is strictly equal to the "prediction period" required by the system scheduling, avoiding premature termination leading to insufficient information and infinite looping causing wasted computing power, the traction calculation results within the prediction period are output when the running position is greater than the prediction step size. Conversely, if the running position is less than the prediction step size, indicating insufficient information, the process returns to Step (b) to recalculate the various data of the train.

[0062] Furthermore, based on the power flow path within the train, the power consumed by the train on the traction network side is calculated according to the transmission efficiency, power factor, and wheel circumference output power of each component. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a logic block diagram for traction network load forecasting provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 5 The diagram shows the power flow path inside the train. The active and reactive power input by the pantograph of train n at time t are shown in the following formulas:

[0063]

[0064]

[0065] In the formula, These are the power factor angles of the gearbox, traction motor, inverter, rectifier, and traction transformer, respectively; η G η M η I η C η T These represent the output efficiencies of various structures within the train; P aux The power consumed by the auxiliary power supply windings of the high-speed train. Please continue reading. Figure 4 Once the relevant power of the train is calculated, the predicted traction load data is output.

[0066] S302. Based on the prediction results, generate an optimization function and constraint boundary that matches the train's operating conditions.

[0067] In one possible implementation, an optimization objective is determined based on the prediction results; an optimization function is then determined based on the optimization objective. The system operating condition is then assessed based on the load conditions of the left and right power supply arms within different scheduling steps.

[0068] In one possible implementation, when the prediction results show that both power supply arms are in traction mode and the total active power does not exceed the sum of the rated capacities of the main transformers, or when one power supply arm is in traction mode and the other is in braking mode and the total active power is greater than or equal to 0, the uniformized main transformer load rate is selected as the optimization target. Specifically, when both power supply arms are in traction mode and the total power is less than the sum of the rated capacities of the two main transformers, i.e., P... load,tα ≥0,P load,t β ≥0, P load,t α +P load,t β≤S T1 +S T2 ; or one end is in traction mode and the other end is in regenerative braking mode, and the total traction load in the system exhibits active absorption, i.e., P load,t α ·P load,t β <0 and P load,t α +P load,t β ≥0. At this point, in order to make full use of the transformer's rated capacity and improve the system's power supply capability, the optimization objective of RSPC-ESS is to uniformize the main transformer load rate, as shown in the following formula:

[0069]

[0070] Among them, P MT,t α P MT,t β S represents the output power of the main transformers at both ends. N α S N β This represents the rated power of the main transformers at both ends. Under the current operating conditions, the output power of both transformers is not less than 0, i.e., P. MT,t α ≥0, P MT,t β ≥0, and the sum of the output forces at both ends of RSPC-ESS is greater than or equal to 0, i.e., P RSPC-ESS,t α +P RSPC-ESS,t β ≥0.

[0071] When the prediction results show that one end of the power supply arm is in traction mode and the other end is in regenerative braking mode, and the total active power is less than 0, or when both ends of the power supply arm are in regenerative braking mode, the optimization objective is to maximize the regenerative braking energy utilization rate. Specifically, this means one end is in traction mode and the other end is in regenerative braking mode, and the total traction load in the system exhibits active power release, i.e., P... load,t α ·P load,t β <0 and P load,t α +P load,t β <0 or both ends exhibit regenerative braking condition, i.e., P load,t α <0,Pload,t β When the value is less than 0, the main control objective is to ensure the highest utilization rate of regenerative braking energy while uniformizing the load rate of the transformers at both ends. Therefore, the optimization objective is as follows:

[0072]

[0073] In the formula, λ is a fixed constant, typically taken as 10, which, together with the following term, forms a penalty term to ensure the highest regenerative braking energy recovery rate. The output of the transformers at both ends is not greater than 0, i.e., P... MT,t α ≤0, P MT,t β ≤0, and at this time the converter output is opposite to the load output, i.e., P RSPC-ESS,t α ·P RSPC-ESS,t β ≥0, P RSPC-ESS,t α ·P RSPC-ESS,t β ≥0.

[0074] When the prediction results show that both power supply arms are in traction mode and the total active power exceeds the sum of the rated power of the main transformers, limiting transformer overload is selected as the optimization objective. When both power supply arms are in traction mode and the total power exceeds the sum of the rated power of the main transformers at both ends, i.e., P... load,t α ≥0,P load,t β ≥0, P load,t α +P load,t β >S T1 +S T2 At this point, the primary control objective is peak shaving, specifically controlling the transformer overload. The optimization objective is shown in the following formula:

[0075]

[0076] Where k represents the overload transformer designation.

[0077] Based on the load conditions of the left and right power supply arms within different scheduling steps, the system operating conditions are judged to determine the optimization target.

[0078] In one possible implementation, an energy optimization model is established based on the prediction results. The RSPC-ESS is used to replace the original transformer as the energy hub in the traction system, not only achieving power exchange between the left and right power supply arms but also providing a DC grid connection interface for the hybrid energy storage system. The power variation relationship at each port is as follows:

[0079]

[0080] Among them, P RSPC-ESS,t α P RSPC-ESS,t β Q RSPC-ESS,t α Q RSPC-ESS,t β The RSPC-ESS values ​​at time t are respectively... Figure 2 The active and reactive power outputs of the α and β side power supply arms shown are in kW / kVar. B,t in P SC,t in P is the charging power for battery energy storage and supercapacitors. B,t out P SC,t out This refers to the discharge power of battery energy storage and supercapacitors, measured in kW.

[0081] The hybrid energy storage system consists of high-energy-density battery storage and high-power-density supercapacitors, aiming to compensate for the spatiotemporal mismatch between the traction loads of the two power supply arms through optimized configuration and coordinated control. The operating state of the hybrid energy storage is mainly evaluated through its state of charge, and its mathematical model is shown below:

[0082]

[0083] Among them, SOC B,t SOC SC,t Let η be the state of charge of the battery storage and supercapacitor at time t. in,B η out,B η in,SC η out,SC For the charging and discharging efficiency of battery energy storage and supercapacitors, η in,B η out,B η in,SC η out,SC For battery energy storage and supercapacitor charge / discharge efficiency, P B,t in P SC,t in P B,t out P SC,t out The charging and discharging power of battery energy storage and supercapacitors, measured in kW.

[0084] This leads to the establishment of a mathematical model for the relay power control system, laying the groundwork for solving the reactive power coordinated optimization scheduling model of the relay power control system in electrified railways.

[0085] In one possible implementation, based on an energy optimization model, power flow constraints, converter output constraints, hybrid energy storage system output constraints, train voltage safety constraints, and traction substation power constraints are generated for the traction power supply system. Since the equivalent chain network belongs to the radial network, and the optimization operation model in this embodiment considers the operating voltage level of the train sets and the coordinated scheduling of active and reactive power, the dist-flow method is used to establish the power flow constraints for the traction power supply system. Based on this, the original model is transformed into a convex programming form through second-order cone relaxation, obtaining the global optimal solution and a good solution speed, as shown in the following equation:

[0086]

[0087] In the formula, the subscripts i and j represent the node numbers in the distribution network; P gen,j,t Q gen,j,t P L,j,t Q L,j,t P represents the reactive power output of the power source and load connected at node j at time t; ij,t and Q ij,t Let v be the active and reactive power at the beginning of branch ij at time t, respectively; i,t and v j,t Let r be the voltages at nodes i and j at time t, respectively; ij x ij These are the resistance and reactance of branch ij, respectively; I ij,t P represents the current flowing through branch ij; jk,t and Q jk,t Let be the active and reactive power of the first end of branch j to k at time t; k is the set of child nodes from j to k with node j as the parent node.

[0088] The converter output constraint is specifically defined by the following formula:

[0089]

[0090] In the formula, S RSPC-ESS design The design capacity of the RSPC-ESS converter is set to ensure that the RSPC-ESS is not overloaded.

[0091] The specific output constraint of the hybrid energy storage system is as follows:

[0092]

[0093]

[0094] In the formula, P B max P SC maxQ represents the rated power of battery energy storage and supercapacitor, respectively. B,t in Q SC,t in Q B,t out Q SC,t out Reactive power absorbed or released by inverters configured for battery energy storage and supercapacitors, measured in kW (s). Soc,min B S Soc,max B S Soc,min SC S Soc,max SC These represent the upper and lower limits of the state of charge for battery energy storage and supercapacitors, respectively. B design S SC design The design capacities are for battery energy storage and supercapacitor inverters, respectively.

[0095] Furthermore, since the time step of the optimization strategy is on the order of seconds, in order to distinguish the output of battery energy storage from that of supercapacitors, the ramp power of battery energy storage operation is limited as shown in the following formula:

[0096]

[0097] In the formula, PBrp and PSCrp represent the ramp rates of battery energy storage and supercapacitor, respectively.

[0098] The specific train operating voltage constraint is as follows:

[0099]

[0100] In the formula, U train,t,n U is the voltage at the pantograph of train n at time t, in kV, which can be obtained by performing open network power flow calculations on the traction power supply system; train min and U train max These represent the minimum and maximum voltage limits required to ensure normal train operation, respectively, in kV.

[0101] The power constraint of the traction substation is specifically defined by the following formula:

[0102]

[0103] In the formula, such as Figure 2 As shown, P MT,t α P MT,t β QMT,t α Q MT,t β S represents the active and reactive power outputs of main transformer A in the α power supply arm and main transformer C in the β power supply arm at time t, respectively, in kW / kVar; max α S max β The apparent power of the main transformers A and C is the upper limit, in kVA. During intraday dispatching, the transformer is allowed to be overloaded by 1.5 times for a short period of time.

[0104] S303. Based on the optimization function and constraint boundaries, generate the optimal control configuration for the energy storage device and the power conversion device.

[0105] Specifically, for solving the model, in this embodiment, the optimized solver is: Large-scale optimizers, in In the runtime environment, call The solver solves the model to obtain the optimal control signal of RSPC-ESS and packages it into an energy optimization data package, which is then transmitted to the controlled device.

[0106] In one possible implementation, optimal control commands are generated based on the optimal control configuration; these commands are then sent to the corresponding devices to achieve optimal control. Based on the aforementioned optimization function and constraint boundaries, multiple power control commands are generated and sent to the corresponding execution devices in the traction power supply system, thereby realizing multi-objective power optimization control of the railway relay power control system.

[0107] This application provides a range-extended traction system control method. By replacing the traditional intermediate substation with a "Relay Power Control System with Energy Storage (RSPC-ESS)," the electrical continuity of the traction network is achieved, thereby eliminating the phase-separated electrical structure and significantly extending the power supply distance of a single traction substation. For the optimized control of RSPC-ESS, a hierarchical control architecture is designed: the upper-level rule management layer dynamically selects the energy dispatch mode based on short-term load forecast data and equipment operating status; the lower layer constructs and solves the reactive power coordinated dispatch model of the traction power supply system, achieving multi-dimensional optimization of system safety, operating costs, and regenerative energy utilization rate while ensuring train safety.
