Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of reduction of electric energy losses of traction power supply system of alternating current (AC). The Strategic Development Programs of Russian Railways (RZD) provide for introduction of information technology. Information technology requires new approaches to estimation methods of traction power supply system operation. The formulas are offered to calculate power and electric energy losses within the traction power supply system, which make use of digital technology to ensure its proper operation. Proceeding from the methods of theoretical fundamentals of electrical engineering and theory of power supply of 25 kV AC traction loads new calculation formulas to determine power losses of transformers are obtained. Iron power losses are determined taking into account asymmetry of winding voltage. Coil power losses of power transformers of traction substations are determined taking into account asymmetry of current of transformer windings. Current asymmetry is represented by phase currents of windings. As initial data the research group takes discrete values of expected instantaneous current values of traction loads at a certain time interval as well as load values, the capacity of the given district traction power supply system is able to cope with. Expected instantaneous current values of traction loads are determined by the results of monitoring and statistical analysis. Calculation of power losses in power transformers of traction substations is performed both for one and two transformers in operation respectively. Electric energy losses are to be calculated considering power losses caused by occurrence of instantaneous current values of traction loads. The number of the transformers in operation is to be chosen for the minimum electric energy losses.
