Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of urban rail transit technology, specifically to a real-time calculation method and system for a DC traction power supply system for urban rail transit. Background Technology

[0002] Urban rail transit is an important component of modern urban public transportation, characterized by large capacity, high speed, and high punctuality. Train operation typically relies on a DC traction power supply system, which in turn transmits electrical energy from the traction substation to the train through the overhead contact line and rails.

[0003] In a traction power supply system, the overhead contact line is used to transmit electrical energy to the train, and the rails serve not only as the train's running track but also as the return conductor. Due to the wide distribution of lines and the variable train operating conditions in actual engineering projects, the voltage and current distribution of the traction network will dynamically change with factors such as train position, running speed, and current draw.

[0004] Train operation plans are typically developed in the form of timetables, which include information such as train departure time, arrival time, operating section, and speed. Timetables can be used to generate operational data for multiple trains at different time points, including operating time, location, speed, current draw, and power. This data reflects the train's operational status and serves as crucial input for power supply system analysis and simulation.

[0005] In practical applications, a traction power supply system model needs to be established to analyze the interaction between train operation and the traction power supply system. This model typically includes equivalent representations of components such as the overhead contact line, rails, and rail-to-ground transition resistance, and can be partitioned according to the train's operating status to simulate the load conditions and electrical characteristics of each section.

[0006] With the development of real-time simulation technology, using high-performance simulators to calculate the operating status of traction power supply systems at discrete time steps has become an important research and engineering method. By updating train operating parameters and the traction network model at each simulation step, dynamic calculations of system voltage distribution, current distribution, and power flow can be achieved, providing support for operation scheduling, power supply optimization, and equipment design.

[0007] In the existing technology, the calculation of DC traction power supply system for urban rail transit is difficult to cope with the frequent load changes and operational disturbances in the real system, and the calculation results have large errors. Therefore, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the modeling method of urban rail power supply system at this stage. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Furthermore, the specific steps for calculating the set of operating data for all trains at the current simulation step size using the linear interpolation method between adjacent time points in the timetable are as follows:

[0020] The set of multiple train operation data is represented as:

[0021] Y = {(t k ,L i (t k ),v i (t k ),Ii (t k ),P i (t k ))|i=1,2,...,N,k=1,2,...,M}(1)

[0022] Where N is the total number of trains, M is the number of discrete time points in the timetable, and t k For a given time in the running graph, L i (t k Let be the train i at time t. k Position, v i (t k ) represents velocity, I i (t k P is for train flow. i (t k () represents power;

[0023] Using adjacent running time (t) k , t k+1 A linear interpolation method between the two is used to calculate the current simulation step size t. sim :

[0026] Y sim ={L i (t sim ),v i (t sim ),I i (t sim ),P i (t sim )|i=1,2,...,N}(6).

[0027] Furthermore, the step of dynamically updating the train set of each section based on the train's location and calculating the total load power of the section specifically involves:

[0028]

[0029] Furthermore, the calculation of the zoned variable resistance parameters based on train location, resistivity, and rail-to-ground transition resistance specifically involves:

[0030]

[0031] Furthermore, the operating data of the multiple trains includes train operating time, train location, train speed, current draw, and power.

[0032] Furthermore, the transition resistance model is equivalent to the equivalent circuit diagram of the variable resistance model, and the contact wire resistance R in the equivalent circuit diagram of the variable resistance model is... c = 0.0173Ω / km; Rail resistance R r =0.02Ω / km; the rail-to-ground transition resistance Rg is 15Ωm.

[0033] A real-time computing system for a DC traction power supply system for urban rail transit includes a host computer and a simulation module.

[0034] The host computer includes a train schedule manager, an LCD screen, and a controller; the train schedule manager is used to run the train schedules of multiple trains and extract the train operation data of multiple trains based on the train schedules; the LCD screen is used to display the train operation data in real time; and the controller is used to control the train operation data transmitted to the simulation module.

[0035] Furthermore, the host computer adopts a dual-socket Intel Xeon Platinum 8352V main control platform with a total of 144 threads, 128GB ECC-RAM, and Windows 10.

[0036] Furthermore, the simulation module is a Speedgoat real-time emulator, featuring an Intel Core i7 4.2G quad-core processor, a programmable FPGA IO board, a Xilinx Kintex 7, 4096MB RAM, 120GB flash memory, and two gigabit Ethernet ports.

Combined with traction network partitioning and variable resistance modeling, it can synchronously change train operation parameters and traction network structure during simulation, thereby accurately simulating the voltage, current, and power distribution of the traction power supply system under actual operating conditions. It can achieve dynamic simulation with microsecond-level step sizes in real-time simulators, dynamically changing train operation parameters and traction network structure at each time segment. When using the simulation method provided by this invention, when the operation diagram changes, it only requires calling the updated train operation data set Y. * In the next simulation step, the old data is directly replaced without recalculating the traction network topology parameters, thus enabling real-time calculation of the impact of changes in the operating diagram on power supply.
