В. Х. Далека — 2019-10-04

Power consumption estimation in municipal electric transport for increasing the efficiency of using an existing power supply system in modern conditions. The electric power supply systems of the tram and trolleybus, which were built and used for many years in Ukraine, were designed according to the norms and data determined by city planning, the rolling stock number, its characteristics, route features, etc. In recent years, the passenger traffic parameters, number and characteristics of rolling stock have changed considerably, therefore, the actual solution of the issues of already existing electricity supply system most efficient use in the current conditions of topical issue management.

On data of the actual electricity consumption on municipal electric transport, hydrometeorological center, tram enterprises, traffic conditions on routes, received an estimation of the use electricity supply system existing efficiency for appropriate measures was carried out. The method of specific energy consumption determination by separate power areas, determined by the location of traction substations, taking into account the types of rolling stock and their traffic conditions, is proposed. The use of a universal indicator of specific energy consumption as an estimate of the energy consumption level makes it possible to compare the level of electricity supply system components efficiency.

On data of the research the energy expenditures spent components of use efficiency evaluation, the following solutions may be proposed: a new location of stopping points with the elimination of irrationally located and low passenger traffic while maintaining the average passenger travel time; rational distribution of rolling stock on routes; change of the motor transport scheme on the lines of municipal electric transport, the elimination of a traffic lights number, or the equipment of moving parts equipment with right-priority pass; change of the power supply scheme, the use of amplifying cables, wires, reconstruction of traction substations to reduce voltage losses, etc. The method of estimating energy consumption on the basis of comparison of specific energy consumption taking into account traffic conditions is improved. The proposed methodology allows us to develop grounded measures for increasing the efficiency of electric power supply systems in municipal electric transport in modern conditions.

В. Г. Кузнецов — 2019-10-04

The paper analyzes the energy saving potential of the traction power system by adjusting the unevenness of the flow of trains for the electrified section. The comparison of two train schedules with different non-uniformity according to the criterion of electric power losses in the traction network is considered. Considered the current timetable of trains on the section of power supply. For the current timetable, the power losses in the traction network was calculated. An adjusted train timetable is proposed, in which the index of unevenness is smaller. The current and proposed timetable of trains is compared on the criterion of electric power losses in the traction network. The amount of electricity losses in the elements of the power supply system is a determining factor for assessing the efficiency of the power supply and electricity consumption processes in any power supply system. The coefficient of variation is proposed as an indicator of uneven flow of trains.

Reducing power losses in the traction network is possible by adjusting the traffic flow unevenness indicators. The less uneven flow of trains is the less electric power loss in the elements of the traction power system. It was proposed the corrected train flow timetable. It was established the boundaries of the technically accessible potential of energy saving in the traction power supply system due to the correction of the unevenness of the flow of trains on the electrified section. In current s working conditions, railways in Ukraine need to look for ways to save energy with minimal investment. By adjusting the uneven flow of trains, it's possible to reduce the power losses in the traction network. Setting up energy saving potential allows you to plan the costs of energy-saving measures, rank them according to specified criteria, seek co-financing from financial institutions

Efficiency of the use of linear polymer insulators in the combination with glasses

Е. Д. Ким — 2019-10-04

At present, linear polymeric insulators with an silicone protective shell are perceived as alternative to traditional insulators practical for all classes of AC and AC voltage lines around the world. However, today, the problem of estimating the remaining life of insulators in real time is still unsolved, which would allow timely repair work or replacement of critically damaged insulators. Despite the fact that various methods and tools for diagnosing composite insulators are currently being tested, the methods for estimating the remaining term of safe isolation work are still not formalized in the form of recommendations of the International Committee for Standardization.

The paper deals with an insulating suspension for a high-voltage power transmission line from a polymer insulator supplemented with a plate-type insulator. Sequentially joined disk insulators not only equalize the potentials along the entire suspension, respectively, reduce the maximum field strength of the polymer insulator, but also serve as an indicator of hidden electrical processes in the polymer insulator.

The introduction of distributed power supply systems for the supply of high-speed trains allows for the necessary mode of power and voltage in the traction network. In the design of circuitry systems of distributed type an important task is the choice of the power channel for feeding points of amplification. Today, as such channels, power lines are used for direct and alternating current. Also known are theoretical developments of power channels of another type: with high frequency, a link of direct current and others.

It is shown that in order to provide the necessary energy indices, the use of AC-35 wires is sufficient for normalized power losses and voltages.

О. Н. Синчук — 2019-10-04

Underground electric locomotive transport of the major ore haulage artery plays a significant role in forming the total prime cost of iron ore materials. The underground electric locomotive transport needs updating; especially in terms of transition to operating new types of electric locomotives equipped with modern highly efficient systems of controlling locomotive operation. Models of electric locomotives and trolleys were used in calculations. These models take into account the elastic properties of an electric locomotive; trolleys and the junction apparatus.

Presents the research results of dynamic processes in the asynchronous electric traction drive and practical solutions of creating the system of automatic control over the electromechanical complex of a biaxial underground battery-trolley locomotive for loading and unloading operations of the mineral haulage cycle at iron ore underground mines. Currently; systems of direct control of traction complexes of electric locomotives; electric traction drives; are the most imperfect in the electric haulage complex at iron ore mines and they hinder the underground electric locomotive transport development to a great extent. Based on the developed mathematical model; the influence of system-forming parameters on the dynamic properties of the system is revealed: mine "electric locomotives - trolleys". Underground electric locomotive transport automation implies creating an efficient electric traction drives structure; which serves the basis for the control system of the whole traction complex of electric locomotives under both manual and automated modes. Test optimization of transient processes in the electric traction drives is essential in this context.
