FIELD OF THE INVENTION

A traction power supply system is a power source that ensures safe, stable and efficient operation of high-speed trains, which is responsible for stable, continuous and reliable power supply to a high-speed motor train unit, and is a kind of important infrastructure of electrified railways. The electrified railway power grid system of the present invention adopts a power supply system without negative sequence in the whole process, especially contacting in sections at intervals, and without support power networks in intermittent sections. The present invention greatly simplifies a support structure of electrified railways power network and is an important innovation that is material-saving, safe and highly reliable.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

An external power supply system of existing electrified high-speed railways mainly consists of traction substations, and a plurality of traction substations are provided along one electrified high-speed railway. The core equipment of the traction substation is a traction transformer, which boosts three-phase power generated by a power plant or step-downs a three-phase high-voltage utility power to 110 KV (220 KV for a high-speed electrified railway), and then converts it to 27.5 KV (the rated voltage is 25 KV) single-phase industrial frequency AC power, to supply two single-phase power lines of an overhead contact system to an upline and a downline of a railway, respectively. As a single-phase power supply system is simple in structure, low in construction cost, and convenient to use and maintain, single-phase industrial frequency AC power is generally used in the existing electrified trains, as shown in FIG. 5.


To support the load of a single-phase traction power network, a complicated mechanical support structure must be provided. A mechanical support for a single-phase power supply network is formed by an arrangement of a plurality of tension lengths (anchor sections). Tension lengths are connected to each other by catenaries, and tension length supports are used for bearing all the weight of the contact power supply network, and fixing conductor wires of the power supply network to a set position and height. Each tension length comprises anchor compensation devices, a plurality of positioners for cantilever (cantilever positioning devices), an electric connection device, hanger devices, a mid-tension length structure and an overhead crossing (frog) device. The anchor compensation devices are arranged at two ends of each tension length, are mounted at an upper part of the tension length support, and connect two ends of the catenaries and contact wires of each span of the overhead contact system, to automatically adjust the sag of the catenaries and the contact wires and ensure the tension of the catenaries/contact wires. Each tension length is provided with a plurality of positioners for cantilever and hanger devices. The spacing between every adjacent two positioners for cantilever for each tension length is 35-45 m. The positioners for cantilever are mounted at the upper part of the tension length support, for supporting the hangers, and position the contact wires, the catenaries and the hangers within a designed space, and transfer the load of the hangers to the support. A junction part of two adjacent tension lengths is known as tension length joint, which is basically required to allow smooth transition of a pantograph of an electrified train from one tension length to another, and be in good contact and draw currents normally. The spacing between every adjacent two hanger devices for each tension length is 7.5-8.5 m. The hanger devices are mounted between the catenaries and the contact wires. Connecting the ends of the catenaries or the contact wires to the support is called anchoring, and the weight of the contact wires is transferred to the catenaries. Through adding suspension points of the contact wires, the current draw quality of the pantograph of the electrified railway can be improved. The overhead crossing is provided between the anchor compensation device and the mid-tension length structure, and located between the two contact wires above a rail turnout of the electrified railway, to ensure smooth transition of the pantagraph from one contact wire to the other and achieve substantially equal heights of the two contact wires at start contact points to achieve shifting. A mid-tension length structure is provided in the middle of each tension length. In tension lengths of the overhead contact system with compensation at both ends, fixation must be carried out at a central location of each tension length. The contact wires are fixed to the catenaries through mid-anchor clamps and auxiliary ropes, so as to prevent the hangers from moving toward any of them to ensure uniform tension of the catenaries/contact wires and improve contact relation between the panographs and the overhead contact system, and for preventing break of the catenaries/contact wires of the overhead contact system and controlling the damage to the overhead contact system after break to a certain extent. The electric connection device is provided on an inner side of the anchor compensation device, and located between the anchor compensation device and the mid-tension length structure, for connecting electric circuits of the contact wires of every section for power supply to ensure conduction of electric circuitry. A support device is composed of a cantilever, a draw bar (or pressing tube) and an insulator, to make the hangers support all the equipments of the overhead contact system and transfer the load to the support. Positioning devices include positioning tubes, locators and supports, for fixing the overhead contact system to a specified position away from the line center, so that the overhead contact system does not exceed an allowed operation range of the pantographs and the wear is uniform between the pantographs.


To support all load of the traction power network safely, a complicated mechanical support structure must be provided. Thus, a large amount of financial, material and human resources are needed in order to achieve machining and manufacture installation and debugging of accompanying parts and components, as well as project construction, routine maintenance and the like. To simplify or partially reduce the mechanical support structure, the electrified railway power grid system is required to mainly consist of an external power supply system, an input power supply system from external to internal, and an internal power supply system. In order to solve the problem that in the whole process of the high-voltage special power network, passing of phase separation is not required, and a negative sequence current should not be caused, the inventor has filed Chinese patent applications for invention of 201410182358.0 and 201410239724.1, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Due to difference arrangement sequences of eight-carriage motor train units of CRH1 type, CRH2 type, CRH3 type and CRH5 type in high-speed railways of China and different placement positions of pantographs on train tops, Chinese patent application for invention of 201410182358.0 is an innovative design mainly for eight-carriage motor train units of CRH2 type and CRH3 type, and Chinese patent application for invention of 201410239724.1 is an innovative design mainly for eight-carriage motor train units of CRH1 type and CRH5 type. The two patent applications for invention are common in that the single-phase power output from the secondary side of the traction transformer is improved to double-phase power; the single-phase pantograph is improved to the double-phase pantograph; cutoff switches of central sections or insulators of central sections are not provided; two lines (paths) of single-phase power are input to two double-phase cut-off switches via two slide contactors on upper ends of a pantograph, and then respectively connected to two basic units within the motor train unit via double-phase cut-off switches; and the two basic units are independent and insulated from each other, with identical circuit structures. Hence, no neutral section for passing of phase separation is provided in the whole power supply network, and a negative sequence current is not caused in the three-phase special power network.


Although the above-mentioned two patent applications for invention solve the problem that passing of a phase-separation system is not required in the whole power supply network and a negative sequence current should not be caused, there is an imperative need to solve the problem of a complex mechanical support structure for supporting the traction power network.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the above, the present invention provides an electrified railway power grid system without negative sequence in the whole process and without power supply networks at intervals, mainly consisting of an external power supply system, an input power supply system from external to internal, and an internal power supply system.


The three parts, that is, the external power supply system, the input power supply system from external to internal, and the internal power supply system of the present invention are described below respectively.


In the external power supply system, one facility is provided for an upline and a downline of a railway respectively, and thus two facilities are provided, the two facilities are parallel and symmetrical to each other, and the two facilities are identical. A row of tension length supports are provided for any of the upline and the downline, and a plurality of positioners for cantilever are provided at upper parts of the tension length supports; two catenaries parallel to each other are fixed to each positioner for cantilever, each catenary is fixedly connected to one end of a hanger, and the other end of the hanger is connected to a power supply contact wire. The two catenaries, the two hangers and the two power supply contact wires are parallel to each other and mutually insulated to ensure shorting never occurs. The hanger is arranged between the catenary and the power supply contact wire, and transfers all load of the power supply contact wire to the catenary, through which the load is transferred to the tension length support. The spacing between every adjacent two positioners for cantilever, among the cantilevers of a tension length, is preferably 35-45 m, the spacing between every adjacent two hangers for each tension length is preferably 7.5-8.5 m. Three-phase (A, B and C) high-voltage special power of 110 KV (220 KV for high-speed trains) is input to a primary side of a traction transformer S, and two lines of single-phase power α and β of 27.5 KV (the rated voltage is 25 KV) are output from a secondary side of the traction transformer S, the single-phase power α and the single-phase power β are respectively connected to the two single-phase contact wires.


In the input power supply system from external to internal, single-phase pantographs are improved to double-phase pantographs, and the double-phase pantographs are provided on corresponding train tops of a motor train unit. The two lines of single-phase power are input to double-phase cut-off switches K1α and K1β or K2β and K2α via slide contactors α′ and β′ provided on a left arm La and a right arm Ra of the double-phase pantograph respectively, and double-phase cut-off switches K1α and K1β or K2β and K2α are respectively connected to basic units TUB1 and TUB2 within the motor train unit respectively. Insulators are provided between the left arm La and the right arm Ra of the double-phase pantograph, to ensure good insulation between the two arms.


In the internal power supply system, motive power supply and auxiliary power supply of any eight-carriage motor train unit are configured for a basic unit TUB1, and a train-mounted battery of any motor train unit is configured as a basic unit TUB2. When the double-phase pantograph T1 rises, the double-phase pantograph T2 must fall, and when the double-phase pantograph T1 needs to rise, firstly the double-phase cut-off switches K2α and K2β are turned off, and the double-phase cut-off switches K1α and K1β are turned on. The phase α of the double-phase cut-off switches K1α is responsible for power supply of the basic unit TUB1 of motive power supply and auxiliary power supply, and the phase β of the double-phase cut-off switches K1β is responsible for power supply of the basic unit TUB2 of the train-mounted battery. The basic units TUB1 and TUB2 are two basic units that are independent from each other, mutually insulated and same in structure.


The present invention combines technical innovations of the external power supply system, the input power supply system from external to internal, and the internal power supply system. The motor train unit successively runs through a plurality of travel sections including travel sections L11, L12, L21, L22, L32 and the like during operation. When the motor train unit runs into the travel section L11, the double-phase pantograph T1 rises, the double-phase pantograph T2 falls, the slide contactor α′ on the left arm of the double-phase pantograph T1 is connected to the basic unit TUB1 of auxiliary power supply and motive power supply of the motor train unit, and the slide contactor β′ on the right arm of the double-phase pantograph T1 is connected to the basic unit TUB2 of the train-mounted battery. When the motor train unit runs into the travel section L21, the double-phase pantograph T2 rises, the double-phase pantograph T1 falls, the slide contactor α′ on the right arm of the double-phase pantograph T2 is connected to the basic unit TUB2 of the train-mounted battery, and the slide contactor β′ on the left arm of the double-phase pantograph T2 is connected to the basic unit TUB1 of auxiliary power supply and motive power supply of the motor train unit. As the single phase α and the single phase β independently and alternately draw power from A, B and C of the three-phase high-voltage special power network in sections at intervals, the power of the single phase α and the power of the single phase β can be symmetrically adjusted automatically. Thus, the two single-phase power lines are not provided with a neutral section for passing of phase separation, and a negative sequence current is not caused in the three-phase high-voltage power network. When the motor train unit runs into the travel section L12, L22 or L32, both the double-phase pantographs T1 and T2 fall, and operation of the motor train unit in the travel section L12 completely relies on electric energy stored in the travel section L11; operation of the motor train unit in the travel section L22 completely relies on electric energy stored in the travel section L21; and operation of the motor train unit in the travel section L32 completely relies on electric energy stored in the travel section L31. Thus, in these sections, an overhead contact system for power supply is not required, and the train-mounted battery can supply power to keep operation of the motor train unit, and of course a support structure for the power supply network is not required, to achieve the objective of the present invention.


None of the travel sections L12, L22 and L32 is provided with a traction power (supply) network, so tunnels, viaducts, station yards, culverts and the like can be intentionally set in these certain travel sections in line designing. Thus the tunnels, viaducts, station yards, culverts and the like are intentionally provided in the travel sections L12, L22 or L32 in line designing. Many traction transformers can be saved in construction of the tunnels, viaducts, station yards, culverts and the like of the railway, and a lot of materials, machined parts and components and maintenance costs are saved in the support structure of the power supply network, and the safety of the railway is improved.


In addition, the single-phase pantograph on the upline or the downline at the output of the traction transformer is improved to the double-phase pantograph, and the slide contactors α′ and β′ are respectively provided on the upper end of the left arm and the upper end of the right arm of the double-phase pantograph, and are respectively in good slide contact with the power of the single-phase α and the power of the single-phase β output by the traction transformer. Good insulation between the left arm and the right arm of the pantograph is achieved by insulators M1 and M2. With the original single-phase contact pantograph improved to the double-phase contact pantograph, this has the advantages of stable and smooth mechanical contact, and more reliable and stable electric energy transmission, as compared with contact power reception with only one single-phase contactor provided in the middle of the pantograph. Large-current dropping resistors Rα and Rβ of 200Ω-1800 Ω are provided at start points and end points of the two contact power supply wires of the single-phase power α and β. At the moment the motor train unit runs into contact with or away from the contact power supply network, as the large-current resistors cause continuous decrease or increase of the voltage, a current spark due to instantaneous increase or decrease of the voltage is not generated. The upline and the downline of the railway may also be configured to be a support structure in three-line arrangement. The tension length supports and the positioners for cantilever on lateral sides of the upline and the downline are designed into L-type, and the tension length supports and the positioners for cantilever arranged between the upline and the downline may be designed into be T-type, which not only saves the cost of project construction, and also improves the stability, reliability and safety of the support structure of the special power network.


The present invention has the following beneficial effects:


1. Cantilevers are fixed to upper parts of the tension length supports, and two catenaries mutually insulated and parallel to each other are fixed to the cantilever. Each catenary is connected to an upper end of a hanger, and a lower end of the hanger is connected to a power supply contact wire. The two hangers and the two power supply contact wires are parallel to each other and mutually insulated. The two contact wires are respectively electrically connected to the power of the single-phase α and the power of the single-phase β output by the traction transformer. The power of the single-phase α and the power of the single-phase β are respectively in slide contact with the slide contactor α′ and the slide contactor β′ of the double-phase pantograph, and are input to the auxiliary power supply and motive power supply system and the train-mounted battery within the motor train unit via the double-phase cut-off switches K1α and K1β or K2α and K2β. As the power of the single-phase α and the power of the single-phase β respectively supply power to the basic unit TUB1 and the basic unit TUB2, the basic unit TUB1 and the basic unit TUB2 are mutually independent and symmetrical to each other. Therefore, no neutral section is provided, and a negative sequence current is not caused in the three-phase high-voltage power A, B and C.


2. In the travel sections where both the double-phase pantographs T1 and T2 fall, the electric energy stored by the train-mounted battery is sufficient for the motive power supply and auxiliary power supply of the motor train unit. Therefore, power supply from the single-phase α and single-phase β of the overhead contact system at the output end of the traction transformer is not needed. Neither a neutral section nor a support structure for the power supply network is required.


3. The original single-phase pantograph is changed to the double-phase pantograph, and as the slide contactor α′ and the slide contactor β′ of the pantograph are in slide contact with the power of the single-phase α and the power of the single-phase β, and the power of the single-phase α and the power of the single-phase β are parallel to and insulated from each other, the mechanical smoothness of slide contact of the pantograph, the transmission quality of electric energy and the reliability of power supply are improved.


4. Large-current dropping resistors Rα and Rβ (200Ω-1800Ω) are provided on the two ends of each travel section, and an instantaneous break or connection spark will not occur when the double-phase pantograph is instantaneously disconnected from or brought into contact with the power supply network via α and β.


5. When the double-phase pantograph T1 rises and the double-phase pantograph T2 falls, the left arm of the double-phase pantograph is connected to the power of the single phase α, and the right arm of the double-phase pantograph is connected to the power of the single phase β. When the double-phase pantograph T1 falls and the double-phase pantograph T2 rises, the left arm of the double-phase pantograph comes into contact with the single phase power β, and the right arm of the double-phase pantograph comes into contact with the single phase power α. This alternate contact power supply way can improve symmetry of drawing power from the three-phase high-voltage A, B and C.


6. As there is no power supply network and support facility thereof in some travel sections, sections of tunnels, viaducts, culverts, turnouts, station yards and the like can be provided in such travel sections, thus it can significantly save the construction costs, improve the traveling safety, and simplify the complexity of space power supply networks.


7. The upline and the downline of the railway may also be configured to be a support structure in three-line arrangement. The tension length supports and the positioners for cantilever on lateral sides of the upline and the downline are designed into L-type, and the tension length support and the positioners for cantilever arranged between the upline and the downline may be designed into be T-type, which not only saves the cost of project construction, but also improves the stability, reliability and safety of the support structure of the special power network.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.


As shown in FIG. 1, an electrified railway power grid system without negative sequence in the whole process and without power supply networks at intervals according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises tension length supports. Positioners for cantilever are fixed to upper parts of the tension length supports, and two parallel catenaries are fixed to each positioner for cantilever, with a distance of 1.94 m between the catenaries. Hangers are disposed between the catenaries and contact wires. The upper ends of the two parallel hangers are connected to the two catenaries, and the lower ends of the two hangers are connected to the two contact wires. The two parallel contact wires are respectively connected to two lines of single-phase power α and β output from a secondary side of a traction transformer S. Two line structures insulated from and parallel to each other are provided on an upline and a downline of a railway. Positioners for cantilever 3 are provided at upper parts of each row of tension length supports 2, and two catenaries 4 parallel to each other are fixed to each positioner for cantilever 3. Hangers 5 are provided between the catenaries 4 and the two single-phase power supply contact wires 1. The spacing between every adjacent two positioners for cantilever 3 for each tension length is 35-45 m. The spacing between every adjacent two hangers 5 for each tension length is 7.5-8.5 m. The spacing between the two parallel hangers on each positioner for cantilever 3 is not less than 1.94 m. The hangers 5 transfer all weights of the power supply contact wires 1 to the catenaries 4, and the catenaries 4 transfer all equipment load of the power supply contact wires 1 to the tension length supports 2. As shown in FIG. 2, three-phase (A, B and C) high-voltage special power of 110 KV (220 KV for high-speed trains) is input to a primary side of the traction transformer S, and two lines of single-phase power α and β of 27.5 KV (the rated voltage is 25 KV) are output from the secondary side of the traction transformer S. The single-phase power α and the single-phase power β are connected to the two power supply contact wires 1. Large-current dropping resistors Rα and Rβ of 200Ω-1800 Ω are provided at start points and end points of the two single-phase power supply wires, to avoid such phenomena as a break spark and ferromagnetic resonance due to instantaneous break. A support structure in three-line arrangement can be set for the upline and the downline of the railway, wherein the tension length supports and the cantilevers on lateral sides of the upline and the downline may be designed into L-type (L-shaped), and the tension length supports and the positioners for cantilever arranged between the upline and the downline may be designed into be T-type (T-shaped), which not only saves the cost of project construction, but also improves the stability, reliability and safety of the support structure of the special power network. As shown in FIG. 3, a double-phase pantograph T1 and a double-phase pantograph T2 are provided on corresponding train tops of a motor train unit. A slide contactor α′ and a slide contactor β′ are respectively provided on an upper end of a left arm La and an upper end of a right arm Ra of each double-phase pantograph. The slide contactor α′ and the slide contactor β′ are in good slide contact with the two single-phase power supply wires. Insulators M1 and M2 are provided between the left arm La and the right arm Ra of the double-phase pantograph. The spacing between the left arm La and the right arm Ra of the double-phase pantograph is not less than 1.94 m. Power is transferred from the slide contactor α′ and the slide contactor β′ to the power supply system inside the motor train unit via the left arm La and the right arm Ra of the double-phase pantograph, which has the advantages of stable and smooth mechanical contact, reduced wear of pantograph-catenary contact, more reliable electric energy transmission, and high quality of power supply, as compared with the case of only providing one single-phase contactor in the middle of the pantograph.


As shown in FIG. 4, the two feeder lines of the single-phase power α and the single-phase power β are transferred from the slide contactor α and the slide contactor β to the power supply system inside the motor train unit via the left arm La and the right arm Ra of the double-phase pantograph; and the single-phase power α and the single-phase power β are connected to double-phase cut-off switches K1α and K1β, or are connected to double-phase cut-off switches K2α and K2β.


According to the present invention, the motor train unit will successively run through a plurality of travel sections including travel sections L11, L12, L21 L22, L32 and the like during operation.


To sum up, when the motor train unit runs to the travel section L11, the double-phase pantograph T1 rises, the double-phase pantograph T2 falls, the double-phase cut-off switch K2α and K2β are turned off, the double-phase cut-off switch K1α is connected to a basic unit TUB1 of motive power supply and auxiliary power supply within the motor train unit, and the double-phase cut-off switch K1β is connected to a basic unit TUB2 of a train-mounted (storage) battery. When the motor train unit runs into the travel section L12 after passing the travel section L11, electric energy stored by the train-mounted battery in the travel section L11 is sufficient to provide the motive power supply and auxiliary power supply needed by the motor train unit in the travel section L12, and both the double-phase pantographs T1 and T2 fall in the travel section L12. When the motor train unit runs into the travel section L21, the double-phase pantograph T1 falls, the double-phase pantograph T2 rises, the double-phase cut-off switch K1α and K1β are turned off, the double-phase cut-off switch K2α is connected to the basic unit TUB2 of the train-mounted battery, and the double-phase cut-off switch K2β is connected to the basic unit TUB1 of motive power supply and auxiliary power supply within the motor train unit; electric energy stored by the train-mounted battery in the travel section L11 is sufficient to provide the motive power supply and auxiliary power supply needed for the travel section L22; and both the double-phase pantographs T1 and T2 fall in the travel section L22. When the motor train unit further runs into the travel section L31, the double-phase pantograph T1 rises, the double-phase pantograph T2 falls, the double-phase cut-off switch K2α and K2β are turned off, the double-phase cut-off switch K1α is connected to the basic unit TUB1 of motive power supply and auxiliary power supply within the motor train unit, and the double-phase cut-off switch K1β is connected to the basic unit TUB2 of the train-mounted battery; electric energy stored by the train-mounted battery in the travel section L31 is sufficient to provide the motive power supply and auxiliary power supply needed by the motor train unit in the travel section L32; and both the double-phase pantographs T1 and T2 fall in the travel section L32. By analogy, the double-phase pantograph T1 rises, the double-phase pantograph T2 falls, the double-phase pantograph T1 falls, and the double-phase pantograph T1 rises. Hence, the basic unit TUB1 and the basic unit TUB2 draw power from the power network alternately. According to the present invention, as the motive power supply and auxiliary power supply within the train are configured for the basic unit TUB1, and the train-mounted battery power supply is configured for the basic unit TUB2, the electric quantity needed for the motive power supply and auxiliary power supply within the train is just approximate to that needed for the train-mounted battery power supply. In respective sections, every time the double-phase pantograph T1 rises, the single-phase α is always connected to the basic unit TUB1, and the single-phase β is always connected to the basic unit TUB. Every time the double-phase pantograph T2 rises, if the single phase α is still connected to the basic unit TUB1, and the single phase β is still connected to the basic unit TUB2, an accumulated error will be added to the single phase α and the single phase β respectively because the electric quantity needed for the basic unit TUB1 is just approximate to that needed for the basic unit TUB2. In a three-phase power network, the accumulated error will add a negative sequence current to the three-phase power network due to asymmetry of single phase power. If the basic unit TUB1 and the basic unit TUB2 alternately draw power from the power network every time the double-phase pantograph T1 rises or the double-phase pantograph T2 rises, the negative sequence current caused by asymmetry of power drawing error accumulation will be reduced in the whole process. Evidently, the above problem is solved desirably in the present invention, whereby power supply imbalance of the three-phase high-voltage power network due to accumulation of electric quantity will not occur, and negative effect of the negative sequence current is reduced. In summary, when the motor train unit runs to the travel section L12, L22, L32 or the like, both the double-phase pantographs T1 and T2 fall, and operation of the motor train unit in the travel section L12 completely relies on the electric energy stored in the travel section L11; operation of the motor train unit in the travel section L22 completely relies on the electric energy stored in the travel section L21; and operation of the motor train unit in the travel section L32 completely relies on the electric energy stored in the travel section L31. In the travel section L12, L22 and L32, neither an overhead contact system (contact network) for power supply nor a support structure for the power supply network is required, and the motor train unit can continue operating normally completely relying on the electric energy stored by the train-mounted battery in the travel section L11, L22 and L32. Thus, the design objective of no negative sequence current in the whole process and no power network support structure in sections of the invention can be achieved.


An exemplary application of the present invention in high-speed electrified trains is described below in conjunction with FIGS. 6(a)-6(d).


High-speed electrified trains in China at present are divided into four types, which are all eight-carriage motor train units. According to the present invention, single-phase pantographs originally provided on different train tops of a motor train unit are improved into double-phase pantographs. As shown in FIG. 6(a), double-phase pantographs of an eight-carriage motor train unit of CRH1-type are provided on tops of a second carriage as a trailer and a seventh carriage as a trailer.
