Multiple Vehicles and Traction Network Interaction System Stability Analysis and Oscillation Responsibility Identification
The electrical incompatibility between vehicles and traction network in railway system can result in system instability and oscillation overvoltage issues. To analyze the system stability, impedance-based frequency-domain methods are commonly used. However, the current impedance-based modeling methods face challenges in practical implementation due to the requirement of precise analytical models and detailed internal parameters for all vehicles. Moreover, multiple vehicles operate simultaneously in railway systems, each with different operating conditions and internal parameters, thereby influencing system stability to different extents. Therefore, it is crucial to accurately identify the critical vehicles to prevent resonance accidents. To address these challenges, a component connection-based modeling approach for the railway vehicle-grid system is proposed, which only requires the measured impedance results without the internal information of vehicles. In addition, a multilevel sensitivity analysis method is introduced to quantitatively identify the critical vehicles and internal parameters that influence system stability, which outperforms traditional sensitivity analysis methods in computational complexity. Furthermore, a system-level electrical compatibility test process for the railway vehicle-grid system is provided, incorporating the proposed stability and sensitivity analysis methods. Finally, case studies based on the real-world train schedule of a multivehicle-accessed railway vehicle-grid system are designed to verify the correctness of the proposed method.
