Abstract

Tracking the optimal speed profile in electric train operation has been proposed as a potential solution for reducing energy consumption in electric train operation, at no cost to improve infrastructure of existing Metro lines as well. However, the optimal speed profile needs to meet fixed running time. Therefore, this paper focuses on a new method for determining the fixed running time complied with the scheduled timetable when trains track the optimal speed profile. The novel method to ensure the fixed running time is the numerical-analytical one. Calculating accelerating time ta, coasting time tc, braking time tb via values of holding speed vh, braking speed vb of optimal speed profile with the constraint condition: the running time equal to the demand time. The other hands, vh and vb are determined by solving nonlinear equations with constraint conditions. Additionally, changing running time suit for each operation stage of metro lines or lines starting to conduct schedules by the numerical-analytical method is quite easy. Simulation results obtained for two scenarios with data collected from electrified trains of Cat Linh-Ha Dong metro line, Vietnam show that running time complied with scheduled timetables, energy saving by tracking optimal speed profile for the entire route is up to 8.7%, if the running time is one second longer than original time, energy saving is about 11.96%.

Abstract

An urban railway is a complex technical system that consumes large amounts of energy, but this means of transportation still has been obtained more and more popularity in densely populated cities because of its features of high-capacity transportation capability, high speed, security, punctuality, lower emission, reduction of traffic congestion. The improved energy consumption and environment are two of the main objectives for future transportation. Electrified trains can meet these objectives by the recuperation and reuse of regenerative braking energy and by the energy - efficient operation. Two methods are to enhance energy efficiency: one is to improve technology (e.g., using energy storage system, reversible or active substations to recuperate regenerative braking energy, replacing traction electric motors  by energy-efficient traction system as permanent magnet electrical motors; train's mass reduction by lightweight material mass...); the other is to improve operational procedures (e.g. energy efficient driving including: eco-driving; speed profile optimization; Driving Advice System (DAS); Automatic Train Operation (ATO); traffic management optimization...). Among a lot of above solutions for saving energy, which one is suitable for current conditions of metro lines in Vietnam. The paper proposes the optimization method based on Pontryagin's Maximum Principle (PMP) to find the optimal speed profile for electrified train of Cat Linh-Ha Dong metro line, Vietnam in an effort to minimize the train operation energy consumption.

Abstract

In operating phases of elevators, accelerating, braking modes occur frequently, so braking energy recuperation of elevators has contributed considerably to decrease the total electric energy consumption for operating elevators in multi-floor buildings. In this paper, the supercapacitor energy storage system is used to recover regenerative braking energy of elevators when they operate down full-load and up no-load, reducing fluctuation of voltage on DC bus as well. Therefore, super-capacitor energy storage system (SCESS) will be parallel with line utility to recuperate regenerative braking energy in braking phase and support energy for acceleration phase. The surplus energy will be stored in the supercapacitors thanks to a DC-DC converter capable of exchanging energy bidirectionally in buck/boost modes, and designing control strategy including two control loops. Inner loop-current loop: controlling charge/discharge process of supercapacitors by current iL complying with operation characteristic of elevator; Outer loop-voltage loop: managing UDC-link at a fixed value. Simulation results with elevator system of the ten-floor building, Hanoi, Vietnam installed SCESS have been verified on MATLAB Simulink, SimPowerSystem with saving energy level about 30%.

Abstract

For an effective study of photovoltaic (PV) systems, precise current-voltage (I-V), power – voltage (P-V) curves of photovoltaic modules are required. However, conducting experiment on real panels faces with many difficulties such as needing large space, high cost, objective conditions of the environment. Therefore, it is essential to research an emulator producing the I-V, P-V characteristics of a PV system the same as those conducted on a real PV panel. This paper presents a two–diode model simulation replacing a photovoltaic panel to export precise current-voltage (I-V), power – voltage (P-V) curves based on the linear interpolation method. The proposed simulator shows many advantages of subjecting to changes in radiation and temperature. The accuracy of the emulator has been not only verified by the simulation results on Matlab software, but also evaluated, compared with the experiment model. The simulation results have coincided with the experimental ones, the output error of less than 4% is shown in the experiment.

Abstract

Tracking the optimal speed profile in electric train operation has been proposed as an efficient and feasible solution for not only reducing energy consumption, but also no at costs to upgrading the existing railway systems. This paper focuses on finding the optimal speed profile based on Pontryagin’s maximum principle (PMP) while ensuring the fixed running time, and comparing energy saving levels in the cases of applying or not applying PMP. The way to determine the fixed running time also differs from works published is to calculate the total trip time equal to scheduled timetable exactly. Calculating accelerating time ta, coasting time tc, braking time tb via values of maximum speed vh, braking speed vbof optimal speed profile. The other hands, vh and vb are determined by solving nonlinear equations with constraint condition: the running time equal to the demand time. Simulation results with data collected from electrified trains of Cat Linh-Ha Dong metro line, Vietnam show that energy reduction for the entire route when PMP utilization is up to 8.7% and running time complied with scheduled timetables.
