Abstract
- This paper proposes a centralized-decentralized control strategy for regenerative braking energy utilization and power quality improvement in the modified AC-fed railway system with energy-storage-based smart electrical infrastructure. The proposal of a centralized-decentralized control strategy can enhance the ability to withstand and rapidly recover from disruptions, thus providing further guarantees for safe and reliable operation and energy conservation for railway systems. First of all, the description and control strategy of the modified railway system are outlined, and then the control principles and implementation process of the centralized control and decentralized control strategies are given. Moreover, a method of load power detection and regulated power reference calculation is proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified in a case of a modified railway system consisting of four traction substations and eight power supply sections. The results demonstrate that regenerative braking energy can be efficiently utilized in railways and that power quality can be improved using the proposed centralized-decentralized control strategy.
