ter reaching the maximum voltage at the 4th control zone of the rectifier-inverter converter of an AC electric locomotive, a further increase in speed is achieved by connecting the field attenuation system (FA) of traction electric motors (TEM). All domestic electric locomotives use the FA TEM system of the inductively active type with step switching. However, it has drawbacks, one of them is that step switching causes speed losses and slows down the acceleration of electric rolling stock (ERS). By 2025, the goal is to increase the speed of freight trains, which will increase freight turnover on the railway network [1]. One solution is to improve the ERS. In this regard, it is proposed to improve the standard FA TEM system of an electric locomotive by using IGBT transistors, which allow smooth regulation of the excitation current. In the article, using the graphical method of the RM, a curve of the train speed is constructed, which proves that the smooth control of the electric locomotive FA TEM allows you to quickly reach the maximum permissible speed of the electric locomotive on the section and to move at a higher speed in the ascent than with step-by-step regulation. The simulation of the 3ES5K series electric locomotive in the «Cortes» software complex on the Winter - Irkutsk-Sortirovochny section was also carried out, which proved that with the smooth regulation of the FA TEM, the technical speed of the ERS increases by at least 2,5 km/h.

Effective use of fuel and energy resources is one of the main tasks in modern industry and transport. The main directions of increasing the energy efficiency of the electric rolling stock of railways are considered in the paper. For the electric rolling stock of railways, a significant proportion of electric power consumption falls on traction needs. The consumption of electrical energy and its recovery directly depends on the proper operation and fine-tuning of the magnetic system and switching of traction electric motors of the rolling stock. The methods of testing traction electric motors currently used in railway transport do not fully correspond to their operating modes during operation. For more reliable control of their condition, a methodology for estimating the nature of the operation of traction electric motors in conditions close to real ones was proposed. Studies of the influence of transient processes on the quality of switching of traction electric motors taking into account operating conditions are carried out. Based on the results of the study, the analysis of the data obtained is carried out, and a criterion for estimating the switching stability of traction electric motors in transient operation modes is proposed. The proposed criterion allows carrying out quality control of the tuning of the magnetic system and switching of the traction electric motor, and also estimating the nature of its operation in various modes, taking into account the operating conditions.

Regenerative braking is one of the most important energy-saving resources on electric rolling stock (EPS) of railways and feasibility of its use is confirmed by a rich half-century history. The development of the recovery mode begins with the release of the experimental AC electric locomotive of the VL61 series № 012 and continues with the release of the modern series of electric locomotives 2 (3, 4) ES5K and EP1v/i. The use of recuperation allows you to achieve significant energy savings, to ensure the safety of driving heavy trains on the track profile with long descents. In the regenerative braking mode, the EPS has rigid braking characteristics, ensuring maintenance of constant train speed, increasing the technical speed of the train and capacity of the railway section. This article presents the results of mathematical modeling of operation of an AC electric locomotive in the regenerative braking mode using a standard rectifier-inverter converter (RIC) and presence of ballast resistor blocks (BRB) in the power circuit, and using a promising RIC based on IGBT transistors, for which a method for implementing regenerative braking on AC electric locomotives without the use of BRB in the anchor circuit of traction electric motors is developed, with the help of which it is possible to increase the amount of electricity given to the contact network, as well as to expand the area of braking characteristics of the electric locomotive.

When developing a high-speed contact suspension for railways electrified with alternating current, it is important to ensure that the electric rolling stock passes the neutral insert without turning off the current and without reducing the speed of movement. The article provides an analysis of previously developed devices in the field of power supply of electrified railways of single-phase alternating current, in which an attempt was made to pass an electric rolling stock of a neutral insert without disconnecting the load. The device of isolating coupling of a catenary and a neutral insert for high-speed railway lines electrified on alternating current is described. In this case, the passage of the neutral insert is carried out under current and braking of the electric rolling stock will not occur. Among other things, to improve the efficiency of high-speed contact suspension for railways electrified with alternating current, it is proposed to use new materials and new technologies that can be used in the device of insulating coupling of the catenary

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.
