Abstract

This paper presents a conception of 3 kV DC traction power system based on distribution sources, as an alternative to traditional traction substation. The system consists of supplying modules (SM) installed along the electrified railway line, the distance between adjacent SMs are much shorter, than between traditional traction substations in 3 kV system. Each SM consists of energy storage system (ESS), and could be charged from adjacent, traditional traction substation via catenary, via medium voltage supplying lines, renewable power sources or by energy recuperation. In the article, the main parameters of the proposed supplying system operation have been compared with parameters of the system with traditional traction substation. For this purpose, in a case study, comparison analysis has been carried out for energy losses in catenary, 15-min peak power demand as well as the cost of the system installation. At the end, the reliability analysis has been carried out for proposed distribution power supply system and for traditional one.
