Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's railway rail transit modernization, the contact network, as an important part of the railway electrification system, plays a key role in traction power supply. However, in cold and humid climate conditions, the contact network is easily affected by icing, which not only damages the carbon plate of the pantograph, but also affects the current collection of the pantograph network, resulting in unstable power supply. In addition, the shedding of ice may also cause the contact line to dance, and even cause irreversible damage such as broken wires. Therefore, the icing problem has become an important issue affecting railway transportation safety and operational reliability, and it is of great significance to evaluate and predict the risk of icing on the contact network.

Traditional prediction of catenary icing mainly relies on empirical judgment, but this method has problems such as strong subjectivity and low accuracy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a prediction method for the degree of catenary icing, which can quickly predict the icing risk of the catenary in the future, provide a basis for maintenance personnel to take corresponding preventive and response measures in a timely manner, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the prediction of the degree of catenary icing.
