Purpose. Development of a method for determining the main functional parameters of on-board supercapacitor recuperative energy storage based on the asymptotic theory of extreme statistics by Gumbel, taking into account stochastic nature of changes in recuperated voltage and current. Methodology. To achieve this purpose, methods, devices and computer systems for temporary registration of recuperated voltages and currents on operating electric locomotives, methods of the theory of random processes and methods of probabilistic and statistical processing of registrograms of voltages and currents were used. Findings. A computational and experimental method for estimating recuperative energy has been proposed and practically applied. A probabilistic method has been developed for determining the energy and electric capacity of on-board supercapacitor recuperative energy storage units. Numerical probabilistic and statistical calculations of the energy and electric capacity of on-board storage for the VL8 and VL11M6 electric locomotives during their operation in the sections of Prydniprovska railway have been carried out. It was found that the energy and electric capacity of on-board storage devices are distributed according to an exponential law with a clear prevalence of their minimum values and in compliance with direct proportionality between them. Originality. For the first time, an autonomous phase of recuperative braking mode of an electric rolling stock has been developed, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the mass and dimension of a supercapacitor storage. The asymptotic theory of extreme statistics by Gumbel was adapted to the method for calculating energy and electric capacity of an on-board storage device, which made it possible to take into account the influence of stochastic nature of changes in the recuperated voltage and current. The probabilistic influence regularities of the change nature in the recuperation energy on the capacity of on-board storage in the phase of recuperative braking have been established. Further development was obtained by a computational-experimental method for assessing the recuperative energy, based on monitoring and using the time dependences of voltage and current obtained in real modes of recuperative braking. For the first time in electric traction systems, it was proposed to carry out the transition from the recuperative braking mode to the recuperative regeneration mode. Practical value. The developed method and technique based on it make it possible to evaluate functional parameters of on-board storage device of all types of electric rolling stock, considering stochastic nature of recuperated voltages and currents. Numerical-graphic dependences of the energy intensity and capacity of the on-board storage are recommended for predicting and evaluating these parameters for various modes of recuperative braking. Since the task of designing an on-board storage unit (in terms of mass and dimensions) is ambiguous, therefore, in each specific case of the type of electric locomotive and recuperation modes, it must be solved individually, taking into account the probability of the corresponding capacitance values.

Increasing the efficiency of cargo transportation by rail is not only one of the main directions of the company JSC “Russian Railways” but also one of the main tasks of our country in order to achieve sustainable economic growth. Electric rolling stock is the largest consumer of electric energy in the company, that’s why its effective and failure-free operation is the way to solve the set tasks. The paper deals with studies related to the operation modes of a freight electric rolling stock of direct current for the purpose of determining the requirements for electric energy storage device, since it is the electric rolling stock that determines the daily schedule of electric load. The order of the analysis of experimental trips of freight electric locomotives of a direct current on the basis of cartridges of recorders of traffic parameters installed on the locomotive is determined. On the basis of the analysis of conducted trips, the main requirements for the energy storage device were obtained with a single running of electric DC rolling stock, namely the average duration of the operation modes of the electric locomotive, the maximum, minimum, and average values of voltage and current, the average value of the electric energy returned to the contact network, time of charge/discharge, and the useful energy intensity of the electric energy storage device. The studies were carried out with the support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research for the project No 17-20-01148 ofi_m_RZD/17.

The paper considers the growth rates of electric vehicles, taking into account the development of electrochemical energy storage. The main lithium batteries aging mechanisms under conditions of uneven load and reversible nature of energy exchange processes with short modes of recharging batteries during regenerative braking are determined. To assess the aging of the lithium battery, the WLTC driving cycle was taken as a basis, in accordance with which the load on the electric vehicle energy storage unit the was formed. A Nissan Leaf equipped with energy storage units (ESU) of different energy intensity was adopted as a test sample. Current diagrams were obtained for one battery cell, minimum, average and maximum currents, as well as durations of traction, braking and stopping modes in various control modes of electric rolling stock are given. An assumption is made about the growth of the energy intensity of the ESU in the future period and its influence on the load of the storage battery is determined. On the basis of the data processing carried out, the main changes in the processes occurring in the power source, associated with an increase in the energy intensity of the ESU, have been revealed

The article deals with the main existing strategies for management strategy of energy exchange processes in the electric rolling stock with onboard capacitive energy storage devices. When considering strategies, it is assumed that the onboard capacitive storage has low power and capacitance. Therefore, this capacitor storage is not able to accept the full amount of regenerative braking energy of the electric rolling stock. The purpose of the paper is to consider and analyze management strategies for energy exchange processes in the electric rolling stock with onboard capacitive energy storages; to define the advantages and disadvantages of each of the existing strategies and propose a concept for the effective management of energy exchange processes in the electric rolling stock. The block diagram of electric rolling stock with the onboard capacitive energy storage which is used for the analysis of management strategies for energy exchange processes is presented. The modes of operation of electric rolling stock with onboard capacitive energy storages are described. Five main strategies for management of energy exchange processes on the electric rolling stock with onboard capacitive energy storages are determined. The advantages and disadvantages of each strategy are set out taking into account the given conditions (characteristics of the electric rolling stock, conditions of the rolling stock motion, oscillograph charts, etc.). The general advantages and shortcomings of each strategy are defined, which allowed to propose the concept of creating an adaptive strategy for managing energy exchange processes in electric rolling stock with onboard capacitive energy storages. The main concept of this management strategy is to implement efficient energy exchange between the traction equipment, the onboard capacitive energy storage, the overhead contact system, both in normal and emergency modes of traction power supply, taking into account the dynamics of energy exchange processes in the overhead contact system, which will generally allow safety and energy efficiency of the transportation process. The obtained research results will contribute to the development and implementation of effective strategies for managing energy exchange processes in the electric rolling stock.

Background : Renewable energies are in great demand because of the shortage of traditional fossil energy and the associated environmental problems. Ni and Se-based materials are recently studied for energy storage and conversion owing to their reasonable conductivities and enriched redox activities as well as abundance. However, their electrochemical performance is still unsatisfactory for practical applications. Objective: To enhance the capacitance storage of Ni-Se materials via modification of their physiochemical properties with Fe. Methods: A two-step method was carried out to prepare FeNi-Se loaded reduced graphene oxide (FeNi-Se/rGO). In the first step, metal salts and graphene oxide (GO) were mixed under basic condition and autoclaved to obtain hydroxide intermediates. As a second step, selenization process was carried out to acquire FeNi-Se/rGO composites. Results: X-ray diffraction measurements (XRD), nitrogen adsorption at 77K, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were carried out to study the structures, porosities and the morphologies of the composites. Electrochemical measurements revealed that FeNi-Se/rGO notably enhanced capacitance than the NiSe/G composite. This enhanced performance was mainly attributed to the positive synergistic effects of Fe and Ni in the composites, which not only had influence on the conductivity of the composite but also enhanced redox reactions at different current densities. Conclusion: NiFe-Se/rGO nanocomposites were synthesized in a facile way. The samples were characterized physicochemically and electrochemically. NiFeSe/rGO giving much higher capacitance storage than the NiSe/rGO explained that the nanocomposites could be an electrode material for energy storage device applications.
