[0017] The utility model is further explained in connection with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] AsFigure 1 As shown, the architecture of a flexible hub traction substation for electrified railways includes a traction power supply system, back-to-back converters, a power feeder system, and a 10kV railway power distribution system. The traction power supply system includes traction transformers and power supply lines; the primary side of the traction transformer is connected to phases A, B, and C of the three-phase power grid, and the secondary side is connected to the traction busbars of the α-phase power supply arm, the β-phase power supply arm, and the ground. The contact wires of the direct-supply power supply lines are connected to the traction busbars of the α-phase power supply arm and the β-phase power supply arm, respectively. The rails of the direct-supply power supply lines are connected to the ground. The back-to-back converters include isolation transformers T1 and T2, and four-quadrant converters C1 and C2. The input of T1 is connected to the α-phase power supply arm, and its output is connected to the AC side of C1. The input of T2 is connected to the β-phase power supply arm, and its output is connected to the AC side of C2. The power feeder system includes a bidirectional DC / AC converter C4 and a grid-connected transformer T3. The DC terminal of C4 is connected to the DC side of C1 and C2, and its AC terminal is connected to one end of T3. The other end of T3 is connected to the distribution system busbar. The 10kV distribution system includes distribution transformer T4 and distribution load D1. The three terminals of the primary side of T4 are connected to phases A, B, and C of the railway distribution network, respectively, and the three terminals of the secondary side are connected to the distribution system busbar. Distribution load D1 includes isolation transformer T5 and railway distribution system load S2.

[0019] The power supply lines for the traction power supply system can also adopt AT power supply mode, or a combination of direct power supply and AT power supply mode, such as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0020] In the above architecture, the three-phase power grid is connected to the α power supply arm and β power supply arm through traction transformers, and can adopt V / V connection, V / X connection, SCOTT connection, balanced connection and other forms.

[0021] To recover and utilize regenerative braking energy from the traction power supply system, flexible hub traction substations can be connected to energy storage systems, such as... Figure 3 As shown. The energy storage system includes a bidirectional DC / DC converter C4 and an energy storage medium S2. One end of C4 is connected to the DC side of C1 and C2, and the other end is connected to the energy storage medium S2.

[0022] The railway 10kV power distribution system can be connected to photovoltaic system D2, such as Figure 4 As shown, the photovoltaic system D2 includes an isolation transformer T6, an AC / DC converter C5, and photovoltaic units. The power distribution system busbar is connected to the photovoltaic units sequentially through the isolation transformer T6 and the AC / DC converter C5. After connecting to the photovoltaic system D2, in conjunction with the energy storage system, the regenerative braking energy of the traction power supply system and the surplus photovoltaic power generation energy of the railway power distribution system can be recovered and utilized, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the traction power supply system and the railway power distribution network.

[0023] The railway's 10kV power distribution system can also be connected to the charging system D3. Charging system D3 includes an isolation transformer T7 and an AC / DC converter C6; the power distribution system busbar is connected to the AC / DC converter C6 via the isolation transformer T7; the DC terminal of the AC / DC converter is used to connect to the electric vehicles. By connecting the railway's 10kV power distribution system to charging system D3, the regenerative braking energy from the traction power supply system can be used to charge the electric vehicles.

[0024] The railway 10kV power distribution system can also be simultaneously connected to photovoltaic system D2 and charging system D3, such as Figure 5 As shown. In this way, the regenerative braking energy of the traction power supply system and the photovoltaic power generation of the D2 system can be used to charge the electric vehicle.

[0025] The railway's 10kV power distribution system can also be connected to the hydrogen energy system D4. The hydrogen energy system D4 includes an isolation transformer T8, an AC / DC converter C7, and hydrogen energy loads. The power distribution system busbars are connected to the hydrogen energy loads sequentially through the isolation transformer T8 and the AC / DC converter C7. The hydrogen energy loads include hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen electrolysis production units, which are also connected to hydrogen storage devices. After the railway's 10kV power distribution system is connected to the hydrogen energy system D4, it can utilize the regenerative braking energy from the traction power supply system to achieve clean energy hydrogen production. Simultaneously, the stored hydrogen energy can be used to supply power to the traction power supply system and the railway power distribution network, as well as to hydrogen loads such as hydrogen-powered vehicles.

[0026] The railway 10kV power distribution system can also be simultaneously connected to photovoltaic system D2 and hydrogen energy system D4, such as Figure 6 As shown. In this way, clean energy hydrogen production can be achieved by utilizing the regenerative braking energy of the traction power supply system and the D2 power generation of the photovoltaic system.
