Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of resonance characteristic analysis technology for electrified railways, and in particular to a method for optimizing the design of parameters of in-phase compensation devices for electrified railways. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, my country's electrified railways adopt a single-sided power supply method, resulting in electrical phase separation between the traction substation outlet and the section substation. This phase separation causes power loss when trains pass through, increases train travel time, and generates a series of power quality problems that reduce power supply reliability. With the rapid development of my country's electrified railways and urban rail transit, scholars at home and abroad have proposed adding in-phase compensation devices to achieve through-phase power supply to solve the problems of electrical phase separation and power quality issues dominated by negative sequence.
[0003] With the addition of in-phase compensation devices, the locomotive and the power electronic equipment in these devices will generate a large amount of harmonic current. If this harmonic current matches the resonant point of the railway system, it will cause resonant overvoltage, which in severe cases will directly damage the equipment and cause system collapse. Current research on system resonant characteristics has proposed methods such as frequency domain analysis and modal analysis, effectively revealing the system's resonant point. Active and passive filtering methods are used to prevent the harmonic current generated by the power electronic equipment from matching the system's resonant point. However, existing research focuses on traditional single-sided power supply methods and has not studied systems with in-phase compensation devices. The design of in-phase compensation device parameters is limited to meeting the control effect of the compensation current, and the additional filter also incurs high costs.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to study the system resonance characteristics of the in-phase compensation device and the parameter design method of the in-phase compensation device. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a parameter optimization design method for in-phase compensation devices in electrified railways. This method can not only reveal the resonance characteristics of the railway system, but also provide the optimal solution for the parameters of the in-phase compensation device through an optimization algorithm, thereby avoiding resonance from the source and solving the problem of high cost caused by setting up filters.
[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a method for optimizing the design parameters of a phase compensation device for electrified railways, specifically:
[0007] (1) Based on the factors affecting the resonance point of the electrified railway power supply system, a model of the railway power supply system is established and the model parameters are initialized;
[0008] (2) Based on the control effect of the power electronic equipment in the in-phase compensation device and the premise of normal power supply to the locomotive, set the range of electrical quantity parameters of the components in the in-phase compensation device and the control parameters of the controller.
[0009] (3) Set the range of harmonic order variation of the power supply system [h1, h2], where h1 is the minimum value of the harmonic order variation range and h2 is the maximum value of the harmonic order variation range;
[0010] (4) When the harmonic order of the power supply system changes to the minimum value, the inductance value and capacitance value of the in-phase compensation device and the control parameters of the controller are used to form the system node admittance matrix when it changes from low to high within the set range.
[0011] (5) The eigenvalues of the system node admittance matrix corresponding to different parameters are obtained by calculation;
[0012] (6) Based on h1=h1+Δh, where Δh is the operation step size, the computer determines whether h1 is less than or equal to h2. If so, return to step (4).
[0013] (7) The harmonic order and impedance amplitude of the resonant point corresponding to the maximum eigenvalue under different parameters are obtained by calculation;
[0014] (8) Using the harmonic order and impedance amplitude, plot the resonance characteristic curve for each parameter;
[0015] (9) By measuring the actual harmonic voltage and harmonic current on site, the characteristic harmonic frequency band of the locomotive and the in-phase compensation device is set.
[0016] (10) The optimal solution of the parameters of each component in the in-phase compensation device is obtained by using the particle swarm optimization algorithm to set the optimization target of the in-phase compensation device.
[0017] (11) Initialize the particle swarm parameters and randomly initialize the position and velocity of each particle in the in-phase compensation device;
[0018] (12) Calculate the objective function value of each particle in each parameter of the in-phase compensation device;
[0019] (13) Update the value of each parameter particle of the in-phase compensation device according to the objective function value;
[0020] (14) The computer determines whether the error of the optimal solution for each parameter is less than the given limit or whether the number of iterations is satisfied. If not, return to step (12).
[0021] (15) Output the optimal solution and plot the resonance curve of the in-phase compensation device corresponding to the optimal solution of each parameter.
[0022] The modeling of the railway power supply system includes establishing models of in-phase compensation devices, transmission lines, locomotives, and transformers. The in-phase compensation device modeling needs to consider the influencing factors such as the dead time of the power electronic converter, switching time, harmonic distribution, and control strategy. The transmission line modeling needs to consider the standing wave effect. The locomotive model needs to consider the locomotive load, equivalent impedance, and harmonic distribution.

P2 The maximum value within the range of the proportional parameter; the range of the integral parameter [K] I1 K I2 ], K I1 K is the minimum value in the range of the integration parameter. I2 This represents the maximum value within the range of values for the integration parameter.

[0028] The initialized particle swarm parameters include the particle swarm size N, the particle dimension (i.e., the number of in-phase compensation device parameters D), the total number of iterations M, the inertia weight ω, and the learning factors c1 and c2; the random initialization of the particle position and velocity includes randomly initializing the position X of the i-th particle. id The velocity V of the i-th particle id The optimal position P of the i-th particle id Optimal position P of the group d d = 1, 2, ..., D; i = 1, 2, ..., N, where position represents the value of each component parameter and speed represents the change in parameter value.
[0029] The calculation of the objective function values of particles in each parameter of the in-phase compensation device includes the optimal objective f of the i-th particle. id and the group optimal objective f d d = 1, 2, ..., D; i = 1, 2, ..., N, that is, whether the harmonic order of the system resonance point deviates from the characteristic harmonic frequency band [T1, T2] of the locomotive and the in-phase compensation device, where T1 represents the minimum harmonic order of the characteristic harmonic frequency band and T2 represents the maximum harmonic order of the characteristic harmonic frequency band.
[0030] The updated in-phase compensation device takes values for each parameter particle, including updating the velocity and position of each parameter particle, wherein the velocity update formula is: The position update formula is d = 1, 2, ..., D; i = 1, 2, ..., N; the m in the upper right corner of each symbol represents the value of the m-th iteration, m ≤ M, rand1(), rand2() represent random numbers in the interval [0, 1].
