Electric Rolling Stock

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.

This article is concerned with the problem of energy savings and rise of comfortableness of railway rolling stock. Done analysis has shown the insufficient paying attention to the energy efficiency of suburban rolling stock. In particular, to the problem of heat comfort for passengers. For this purpose, a procedure was carried out for the thermal audit of electric trains, taking into account the prevailing array of required indicators. To determine the sites of local heat losses, there was done the thermal-imaging inspection of the electrical train ER2 series during which it was determined the local sites of heat losses and entry of cold air. Besides the passenger compartment, there were inspected the outer body liner and driver's cabin. As a result of inspection of driver's cabin, it was found the bad quality of a sealing layer for side small windows from one side. On the basis of inspection, the recommendations for elimination of found irregularities were developed.

Through additional processing of the modern movement parameter recorders data of the DC electric locomotive 2ES6 the article first presents the results of the actual consumption of electricity for own needs and the proportion of these costs from the consumption of trains traction is determined, which in terms of operational depot is difficult to implement. The estimation of influencing factors on the energy consumption for own needs of 2ES6 series electric locomotives is made. As a result it was found that the internal energy consumption is influenced by such factors as rolling stock mass, axle load and environment temperature. Statistic models were made to normalize internal electricity consumption and their quality estimation was fulfilled. It is found that the remainders of the multiple regression equation, which take the above factors into account, obey the normal distribution law, indicating the adequacy of their further use to assess the energy efficiency of the 2ES6 series DC electric locomotives auxiliary equipment. The use of regression models will allow to identify electric locomotives with auxiliary equipment with low energy efficiency and to send them to unscheduled repairs in time to restore the required technical condition.

Abstract The review of technical solutions and schematic characteristics of auxiliary drives for traction vehicles has shown that the most rational variant is an electric drive with an induction machine. Given the operating modes of the auxiliary drives and the share of their power consumption in the total locomotive power, the task of using scalar control systems for induction machines becomes relevant. Based on a mathematical model describing the dynamic energy conversion processes in the T-shape substitution circuit of an induction motor, taking into account stator steel losses and current displacement effects in the rotor winding and saturation along the main magnetic path, possibilities for reducing stator current have been investigated. In order to improve the energy efficiency of electric drives two variants of control system have been proposed. One based on search method of self-tuning to the stator current minimum and the other - on maintaining the power factor of induction motor at the level that ensures equality of active and reactive components of stator current. The hardware and software requirements for implementing control systems have been analysed. Modelling using Matlab has shown that both control systems work - power loss reduction can be as low as 50% and as high as 60% in certain modes.

The issues addressed by the article concern the assessment of energy efficiency in rail transport, resulting from the proper organization of rail traffic. The problems related to energy consumption and, thus, the negative impact of rail transport on the natural environment are highly significant in terms of the green deal concept, climate change and sustainable development. In this article, energy efficiency is investigated in the context of minimizing the energy consumption necessary to satisfy a specific transport requirement. The essence of this article is to present an approach to energy-efficient planning of rail freight traffic. This article aims to develop a method covers the allocation of railway vehicles dedicated to freight traffic (locomotives and railcars) to perform a defined transport task, taking into account the energy efficiency assessment of the solution, routing the train launched with regard to the accomplishment of the defined transport task on the railway network, and determining the conditions of transport for a defined transport task, taking into account the allocated rolling stock (locomotives and railcars) and the route. In this article, based on the presented state of knowledge, a decision-making model has been proposed, including the model’s parameters, the values being searched for, indicators for assessing the quality of the solution, as well as the limitations and boundary conditions of the problem. The function of minimizing the energy consumption necessary to transport a shipment within the railway network (determining the energy efficiency of the proposed solution) has been proposed as the criterion. In addition, a description of the proprietary method of selecting rolling stock for accomplishing tasks, based on the assessment of the energy efficiency of the solution and a case study illustrating the operation of the method on the example of the area of Poland, has been presented.

Automotive Air Conditioning System

The automotive air conditioning compressor (AAC) is belt-driven by the engine. The compressor speed is directly proportional to the engine speed. Therefore, the cooling capacity will vary as the engine speed changes. To meet the air conditioning (AC) demand, the compressor continually cycles on and off. In the research, the compressor of the AAC is driven by an electric motor which in turn is operated by electrical battery (12 volt). The use of direct current compressor (DCC) is seen as a solution of the existing system. Using the proposed system, DCC gets significant improvements in energy efficiency. Compared with AAC system, the energy conservation effect is about 77.5% to 86.35%.

At operation of rolling stock all friction joints are supposed to wear especially heavy-loaded elements of freight electric locomotives. The paper analyses the distribution of failures according data of unplanned repairs and determines that a traction drive is a heavy-loaded element. The work shows its structural scheme and considers the influence of wear of traction transmission elements on drive life. The authors have processed and analysed spectrograms of a direct current freight electric locomotive. As a result, they have concluded that the reason of high dynamic loads on traction drive elements is the wear of gear wheels teeth that leads to appearance of cracks on body structures and to weakening of bolted connections. The authors propose a number of principled approaches to reduce the wear of gear transmission and body structures.
