Converter device 70a is the tracted load relevant with another train of traction 50a be connected on AC system bus 80.This another train 50a can have the energy management system 40a similar to train 50.
Fig. 2 is the braking energy management process that one embodiment of the invention is shown in a flowchart.Fig. 5 illustrates 3 kinds of circulation paths of braking energy intuitively, the flow direction of the represented by dotted arrows energy in Fig. 5.The control flow of energy management system in the present embodiment is described referring to Fig. 2 and Fig. 5:
In step 301, when tractor-trailer train 50 runs, system obtains energy from three-phase alternating current system busbar 80, by rectifier 71, intermediate dc bus 72, inverter 73, delivers to motor 60, drives train 50 to run.
When train 50 is braked, the kinetic energy of train 50 becomes electric energy by motor 60, then by braking energy, the load 70a, 30 be preferentially supplied under three-phase alternating current system busbar 80 uses by inverter 73, intermediate dc bus 72, rectifier 71.
Specifically, in step 302, be fed back to braking energy on AC system bus 80 and first provide electric energy to non-immediate such as the power on AC system bus, illuminations for the load 30 of tractor-trailer train.To an AC system bus, the power of non-train traction load is generally substantially constant.Can pre-set a fixing power threshold P0, this power threshold P0 is not more than the power of non-tracted load 30, and the power controlling conveying on AC system bus 80 is not more than P0.
In step 303, when a train, as train 50 is braked, and another train, as train 50a be pulled time, system obtains energy from higher level's electrical network 100, is transformed into the voltage class of AC system bus 80 by three-phase alternating current main transformer 90, powered to its long stator synchronous linear motor 60a by the converter device 70a corresponding to train 50a, run with tractor-trailer train 50a.At this moment, by bus voltage, current sense function detection ac bus system 80 load condition (overall target of this load representative voltage and electric current) of energy feedback control setup 41, can judge whether that train is just pulled, if any, then the energy controlling train 50 continues to ac bus system 80 feedback.
In step 304, if the load 70a on AC system bus 80,30 energy requirement sum be less than now may the braking energy of feedback straight edge line, then start apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 and store.By detecting the voltage Vx of the intermediate dc bus 72 of converter device 70, judge whether apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 is filled with, and as being filled with, then enters into step 305.
In step 305, remaining braking energy, by braking chopping device 44, all flows to energy-dissipating device 43, is consumed by energy-dissipating device 43.
Stating in energy management control process on the implementation, system energy feedback control setup 41, by detecting ac bus 80 voltage and/or electric current, avoiding the feedback of braking energy superior electrical network 100.
In above-mentioned steps 304, the charging and discharging of apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 controls as shown in Fig. 3 (a).With dual pulse width modulation energy can the DC bus-bar voltage V1 of intermediate dc bus 72 of feedback type converter device 70 and input side rectifier (namely from AC system bus 80 side) electric current (or power) I1 for reference, implement the storage of energy or the release to intermediate dc bus 72.This can be avoided on controlling, carry out complicated cooperation control with converter device 70.Mode is:
In step S10, control setup 41 detects the DC bus-bar voltage of intermediate dc bus 72.When DC bus-bar voltage being detected in step S11 higher than voltage threshold V1, apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 in step S12 stored energy to being filled with.
In step S13, control setup 41 detects converter device input side power P 1, or reacts the current value I1 of this magnitude of power.When detecting that in step S14 input side rectifier power P 1 (or current value I1) is greater than 0, illustrating that converter device 70 receives energy from three-phase alternating current system busbar 80 side draught, after being converted by converter device 70, providing haulage capacity to traction electric machine.Now, apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 also releases energy to intermediate dc bus 72, and the fault offset stored in the last brake stage, out for tractor-trailer train provides portion of energy, is that the train braking stage charges ready to apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 next time simultaneously.
Need to illustrate, the opportunity that apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 releases energy is not limited to above-mentioned example, in fact.Control setup 41 can think the energy needing any moment release apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 providing energy to traction electric machine 60.
About energyreleaserate, suppose the power that P2 represents the maximum power of apparatus for storing electrical energy 42, P1 represents the input side rectifier detected, as P1 > P2 (step S15), apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 releases energy (step S16) with power P 2; Otherwise apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 releases energy (step S17) with power P 1.In above-mentioned step 305, the charge and discharge control of energy-dissipating device 43 is with reference to shown in Fig. 3 (b), DC bus-bar voltage threshold value V2 is set, DC bus-bar voltage (step S20) is detected by converter device 70, whether be greater than threshold value V2 (step S21) according to the DC bus-bar voltage of intermediate dc bus 72, control whether discharge electric energy to energy-dissipating device 43.When DC bus-bar voltage is greater than threshold value V2, starts braking chopping device 44, release energy (step S22) to energy-dissipating device 43.
Above-mentioned threshold value V1, V2 are the DC bus-bar voltage of intermediate dc bus 72, and its magnitude relationship is V2 > V1.As an example, intermediate dc bus voltage is ± 2500V.Threshold voltage desirable V1 in side circuit is ± 2300V, V2 are ± 2700V.
Fig. 5 illustrates apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 and DC bus connection diagram.Apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 and converter device 70 need cooperation control in several.An example is the cooperation control of Preservation tactics, in order to avoid affecting the Preservation tactics of converter device 70, increases full control switch 46 between the pre-charge circuit 48 and circuit breaker 47 of apparatus for storing electrical energy 42.When implementing emergency protection, converter device 70 can cut off apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 provides energy to converter device 70 path by intermediate dc bus 72 at once.
Another example shuts down electric discharge cooperation control.Circuit breaker 47 can disconnect when maintenance down by converter device 70, thus the electrical connection realized between apparatus for storing electrical energy 42 and converter device 70 and cut-out.

Embodiments of the invention being passed through brake energy feedback system bus, being stored for utilizing next time by apparatus for storing electrical energy, have reclaimed braking energy, have decreased the waste of energy.In addition, owing to feeding back to the energy of system busbar only for the non-draw gear in one's respective area or other draw gear, not feedback higher level electrical network, so the harmonic pollution for higher level's electrical network and feedback current impact can not be caused.
For each current transformer situation in a certain Traction Station, its configuration condition is as follows: allow the power of feedback system bus to calculate according to the assembly average 1MW of non-draw gear; Energy-storage units is configured to 105MJ/1MW (often overlapping current transformer joins a set of).
