This article deals with the new challenges facing modernising railways in Poland. We look at the problem of the efficiency of the power supply system (3 kV DC) used in the context of the increasing use of electric vehicles, which have a higher demand for electricity than the old type. We present and characterise the power supply system in use, pointing out its weaknesses. We consider a case study. The load of the power supply network generated by the rolling stock used in Poland was examined using a microsimulation. A real train timetable was taken into account on a fragment of one of the most important railway line sections in one of the urban agglomerations. Then the results were compared with the results of a microsimulation in which old units were replaced by new trains. These tests were carried out in several variants. We found critical points in the scheduling of railway system use. Our results indicate that it is becoming increasingly necessary to take into account the permissible load capacity of the supply network in certain traffic situations in the process of timetable construction.

Power Filter

The expediency of using a power active filter in the mode of reactive power compensation of the supply network for the powerful sounding pulses shaper power supply system of the Institute of ionosphere NAS and MES of Ukraine is shown. An analysis of the literature has been carried out, which shows the effectiveness of solving the problem of reactive power compensation, filtering higher harmonics of the power supply network using active filtering of higher harmonics of current or voltage using an additional energy source to obtain a compensating signal in the form of current or voltage. The choice of the power circuit for constructing a power active filter has been made. A voltage inverter on IGBT transistors is used as a power active filter. The basic principles of operation of the power active filter control system are described, which are based on the p-q theory of power and provide for the calculation of instantaneous values ​​of the task currents for each phase of a three-phase power supply system. The work of the Matlab-model of the power supply system of the shaper is shown, the oscillograms of the main energy characteristics of the shaper are given. As a result of using a power active filter, the current of the supply network becomes close to sinusoidal, and the power factor tends to 1. A positive effect on the efficiency of the shaper when the power active filter is included in the supply network is noted, which is due to the efficiency of compensation of the reactive power consumed by the shaper from the supply network. The simulation results are presented, in particular, graphs of reactive power change at the point of connecting the power active filter to the supply network, at different levels of reactive power consumption by the shaper. The results obtained confirmed the possibility of using a power active filter in the mode of reactive power compensation of the supply network when solving the problems of improving the electromagnetic compatibility of powerful sounding pulses shapers with the supply network, reducing losses and increasing the reliability of the shapers.

Implementing high-speed trains on Polish railway lines requires a new approach to the issue of power and energy supply via a 3 kV DC power system. Due to the control systems used, modern rolling stock equipped with asynchronous drive allows maintaining a set speed, as far as a locomotive’s power and voltage in a catenary allow it. Characteristics of traction vehicles with asynchronous drives enables run at voltage lower than the rated voltage, however, it entails decrease of consumed power (required for locomotives with power above 2 MW) and loss of motion dynamics. Modernisation of a railway power supply system conducted in Poland since the mid-1990s of the 20th century has intensified in the past couple of years (so-called MUZ-I program) due to the purchase of Pendolino trains, and it primarily include the main lines. A number of modernisation investments (lines E65, E20, E30) are implemented with co-financing from the EU funds. Due to the predicted trains’ speed (200 km/h and above), in order to fulfil the requirements specified in TSI, a power supply system on these lines should ensure achieving high parameters, that is supply of trains with current up to 3.2 kA, while the so-called mean useful voltage should not be lower than 2.8 kV. The article presents solutions introduced on Polish railway and aiming at adjusting the power supply used to the TSI requirements. The range of conducted modernisation works allows for conclusion that the process is in fact a re-electrification of railway power supply systems.

In this paper, the emergency power supply system for next generation sodium fast reactor (SFR) is investigated to target the latest system design with such as optimized equipment for measure of loss of heat removal system (LOHRS) events, taking into account for strengthening diversity and multiplicity. In addition to diversity and multiplicity, optimization in terms of amount of equipment is also taken into account. The emergency power supply system is consist of emergency generators for design based accident (DBA) and emergency generators to cope with the design extension condition (DEC) in order to power the additional cooling equipment of fuel handling system and reactor core cooling system as a measure for LOHRS event. Base on the load capacity and system operation, the configuration of emergency power supply system was examined aiming optimization of amount of equipment in accordance with some shared use taking into account the reliability. As a result, the emergency power supply system with 4 fixed-type gas turbine generators, 4 portable-type diesel generators and batteries was established.
