Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of track traffic power supply traction reconstruction and optimization, and particularly relates to a bidirectional converter site selection and characteristic collaborative optimization method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, the track traffic power supply built at home and abroad is mainly rectifier traction substation, which cannot effectively recover the regenerative energy of the train. The bidirectional converter has the functions of rectification and inversion and is applied to track traffic to feed the regenerative energy back to the loop network and improve the utilization rate of regenerative energy. Therefore, the current operators start to reconstruct the current rectifier traction substation based on the bidirectional converter to reduce the system operation cost. Considering the construction and maintenance cost of adding the bidirectional converter and the site selection and characteristic parameters of the bidirectional converter, both of which will affect the system power flow and energy consumption. Therefore, an optimization model is established to minimize the system cost under train operation, and a bidirectional converter site selection and characteristic collaborative optimization method for urban track traffic traction substation reconstruction is proposed to improve the economy of track traffic operation.

[0003] Currently, there is no relevant literature and patent to solve the bidirectional converter site selection and characteristic problem for urban track traffic traction substation reconstruction. The conventional site selection optimization problem, such as the site selection and capacity of the energy storage system, usually considers the capacity of the device, but this parameter does not affect the energy consumption of the system. The characteristic parameters of the bidirectional converter in this patent affect the system power and voltage. Under the condition that the train operation is unchanged, the characteristic parameters of the bidirectional converter will affect the system energy consumption. Therefore, this patent proposes a bidirectional converter site selection and characteristic collaborative optimization method to reduce the system loss and recover the regenerative energy, thereby reducing the cost comprehensively.
