ELECTRICITY LOSSES IN AC TRACTION NETWORK WITH STATIC REACTIVE POWER GENERATOR
The paper is devoted to the tasks of increasing the throughput capacity of railway sections and reducing power losses in the traction network. As a solution, it is proposed to control the power of the transverse capacitive compensation installation at the sectioning station. The purpose of the study is to assess the reduction of power losses in the traction network while stabilizing the voltage on the buses of static var generators (SVG). The equivalent circuit of the SVG in the traction network which allows calculating the power loss is proposed. A feature of the scheme is the determination of parameters using iterative calculation of the power supply scheme of the inter-substation zone of the railway section. The law of regulating the capacity of installed SVG at the sectioning stations of Russian railways is considered. Solutions to increase the efficiency of reactive power compensation in the traction network have been developed.
