Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power flow calculation for AC subway power supply systems, and specifically relates to a method for calculating the power factor at the point of common coupling of an AC subway power supply system. Background Technology

[0002] AC-powered subway systems offer advantages such as high train speeds, low track construction costs, and minimal stray current interference, making them a viable solution to the problems associated with DC-powered subways. The safe and reliable operation of the power supply system is crucial for ensuring the rapid and stable operation of locomotives, and reactive power balance has a significant impact on the operation of AC-powered subway power supply systems. Excessive reactive power can cause system voltage rise, leading to insulation damage and reduced service life of electrical equipment; increased system losses; and a decrease in the power factor at the point of common coupling. Therefore, it is necessary to address the reactive power imbalance problem in the power supply system by obtaining the power factor at the point of common coupling through power flow calculations, thereby understanding the reactive power level of the entire power supply system. This is of great significance for achieving the safe, stable, and reliable operation of the power supply system.

[0003] Currently, methods for obtaining the power factor at the point of common coupling (PCC) mainly include system data acquisition and power flow calculation. The advantage of acquiring PCC data through a Power System Monitoring and Data Acquisition (PSCADA) system is its ability to collect PCC data in real time, which helps in assessing the reactive power level of the power supply system. However, the location of the PCC varies between different city power departments. If the PCC is located at the outgoing line of a city substation, PSCADA will not be able to obtain the power factor for that PCC. Currently, most metro power flow calculation methods are applicable to DC metro systems, considering the impact of rectifier units and power feeder devices on the power supply system. However, AC metro systems do not contain such equipment and differ in structure and power supply system. Therefore, these methods are difficult to use for calculating the PCC power factor of AC metro systems. Summary of the Invention
