Abstract

This paper proposes a regulation method of DC line voltage for urban transit system fluctuated during the acceleration or deceleration by using supercapacitor. Supercapacitor is modelled electrically under the assumption of three different time constants of RC circuits with variable capacitances depending on the voltage. And its parameters are determined by the experimental measurements. The energy storage system using supercapacitors is installed based on this model, and the proposed model is tested through the simulations and experiments, and the controller for charging and discharging is designed. Finally, it is tested at Kyoungsan test site for the urban light rail road system and the energy saving effect is evaluated economically.

슈퍼커패시터를 이용하여 철도 차량의 가 감속 시에 발생하는 DC 가선전압의 변동을 안정화하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이를 위해서 슈퍼커패시터를 서로 다른 3개의 시정수를 가지는 전압가변 정전용량을 가지는 RC회로로 가정하고 실험적인 방법으로 파라미터 값을 결정하여 전기적인 모델링을 수행하였다. 슈퍼커패시터를 이용한 에너지 저장장치를 구성하여 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 제안된 모델을 검증하고 제어기를 설계하였다. 그리고, 경산 시험선에서 실증시험을 수행하고 경제성을 평가하였다.
