DETERMINING RATIONAL PARAMETERS OF THE CAPACITIVE ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM FOR THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY ROLLING STOCK

An approach was proposed for determining rational parameters of the on-board capacitive energy storage for the underground railway rolling stock with recuperation systems. The essence of the approach is to determine the maximum power and energy intensity of the on-board CESS based on the analysis of the payback period of the storage systems. The main distinctive features of this approach include taking into account a number of operating conditions and technical features of the underground railway rolling stock. Using this approach, rational parameters of the on-board capacitive energy storage system for standard operating conditions of the experimental rolling stock with the recovery systems were determined at the Sviatoshyno ‒ Brovary line of the Kyiv Metropoliten. Based on the analysis of diagrams of the payback period of the chosen storage systems, it was established that for the given conditions of operation of the underground railway rolling stock, it is rational to introduce a capacitive storage with a maximum power of 1,000 kW and a working energy intensity of 3 kWh. It was calculated that for the given operating conditions, introduction of a storage system with rational parameters will save 16.1 % of the quantity of electric energy consumed for traction of the underground railway rolling stoc
