Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of catenary operation icing stability evaluation, and particularly to a catenary icing operation stability evaluation method considering the water droplet collision coefficient. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of the high-speed rail network and the continuous improvement of the operation level, the catenary, as a key component of the high-speed rail traction power supply system, its performance and state directly affect the operation efficiency of high-speed rail trains. In recent years, due to the frequent occurrence of extremely cold weather, catenary icing will seriously affect its electrical conductivity, resulting in poor contact between the pantograph and the catenary of the train, and even phenomena such as power failure, short circuit, and spark. This will not only damage the catenary and the pantograph, but may also cause damage to the power system of the train, resulting in train suspension or accidents. Therefore, it is very necessary to evaluate the catenary icing operation stability.

[0003] At present, although there are various catenary risk assessment methods, these methods have some defects and deficiencies and have not been widely promoted and applied. For example, traditional assessment methods are mostly based on empirical models or physical models, and do not fully consider dynamic factors in the actual environment, such as the influence of wind speed, electric field, and rainfall on the catenary icing process. In addition, these methods often lack accurate calculation and real-time monitoring of key parameters, resulting in insufficient accuracy and reliability of the assessment results. In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a catenary icing operation stability evaluation method considering the water droplet collision coefficient, and conducts an analytical evaluation on the catenary icing operation stability considering different wind speeds, electric fields, and rainfall diameters in the actual environment, providing important support for the stability and reliability of the high-speed rail system. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to more accurately evaluate the catenary icing operation stability analytically, the present invention provides a catenary icing operation stability evaluation method considering the water droplet collision coefficient. The technical solutions for achieving the purpose of the present invention are as follows:

[0006] The bottom grounding end of the catenary model (7) is connected to the comprehensive grounding device (12), and the catenary model (7) is placed inside the test chamber (10);

[0007] The trigger interface of the working voltage generation controller (2) is connected to the input end of the working voltage generator (3), the host computer (1) is connected to the control end of the working voltage generation controller (2), the output end of the working voltage generator (3) is connected to the input end of the switch (4) through a high-voltage resistant cable (9), and the output end of the switch (4) is connected to the input end of the catenary model (7);

[0012] First step: Close the switch (4), and send wind speed, raindrop diameter, and voltage setting signals to the air duct system (8), the simulated rainfall device (5), and the working voltage generation controller (2) respectively through the host computer (1). The air duct system (8), the simulated rainfall device (5), and the working voltage generation controller (2) execute the corresponding instructions. The high-definition intelligent monitoring and measurement integrated device (6) identifies and measures the area S0 enclosed by the water droplets released on the ground in the test chamber and the area S enclosed by the water droplets hitting the catenary surface, and transmits them to the host computer (1) through the data acquisition device (11), and the water droplet collision coefficient γ;

[0013] Continue to monitor the icing condition of the catenary model (7) through the high-definition intelligent monitoring and measurement integrated device (6) and transmit it to the host computer (1) through the data acquisition device (11);

[0014] Adjust the switch to disconnect it, change the wind speed v, raindrop diameter d, and voltage E in the test chamber. The change range of the wind speed v is controlled within 0 m / s to 5 m / s, the raindrop diameter d is taken in the range of 100 to 1000 μm, and the voltage E is selected in the range of 0 to 35 kV. Repeat the first step above to obtain m groups of test working current intensity parameter data;

[0018] Calculate the icing operation stability factor η of the catenary under different water droplet collision coefficients γ:

[0019]

[0020] Where e in formula (2) is the natural logarithm.

[0021] The third step: Evaluation of the icing operation stability of the catenary

[0022] When η ∈ (0, 0.05), it indicates that the catenary operates stably; when η ∈ (0.05, +∞), it indicates that the icing thickness of the catenary is too large and de-icing is required as soon as possible.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0024] 1) By building an icing operation stability evaluation platform for the catenary, it can effectively simulate the actual environmental conditions of the catenary under different wind speeds, electric fields, and raindrop diameters, with strong practicality.
