A Study on the Analysis of Load Flow for Railway DC System

Urban railway systems differ greatly from general power systems in that they use direct current(DC)power supply and that the location and power requirements of the loads change.The position and power consumption of the load shall be interpreted continuously every second,or in a fixed unit of time,for a specific period of time during which the operating conditions are repeated.The additional analysis of energy-saving systems being considered as energy efficiency improvement methods requires more complex load flow analysis algorithms.Simulations are performed load flow every time step.The power of an electric railway power feeding system is the power consumed or produced by a train.Because the amount and position of the load change rapidly over time,load flow analysis continues over time.Therefore,based on the method of obtaining solutions by constructing node equations for load flow analysis in this study,load flow analysis was performed through algorithms with energy-saving systems applied.Both thetrain performance simulation(TPS)and power simulation results show that the actual measurement data are estimated almost equally.
